Applied, was sent a hackerrank which was pretty straight forward. Then went to a conversation with HR. Was asked pretty basic questions, said I would hear back in a week or so. Didn't hear back for awhile so I followed up and was given a template email of rejection.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Clutter in Sept 2019
Interview
Applied online through Clutter career website. Not long after, received HackerRank test. 2 easy algorithm questions in JS. Easily passed all test cases and was confident in my code in terms of cleanliness, performance, and structure.
2 weeks later, received an email saying they would not be moving forward with my application. When I asked for feedback, they said they were looking for someone with more "relevant industry experience."
That's fine. BUT, why waste my time and send me the HackerRank test? I would prefer an immediate rejection rather than wasting my time and making me time an online assessment.
Hackerrank -> Onsite
looks like an excellent company, with insane engineering talent and passion. future looks very very bright, likely to be a unicorn next year. very strong offer as well. personal reasons made it so I had to decline.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of system design and ds/a. behavioral about resume and why clutter
Ask you to do two OA algorithm problems before they review your resume and then reject you. Completely waster of time. The OA assesment is meaningless. Avoid this company.
