      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Remote

      Interview

      Recruiter call > Engineering Manager call > Take home code exercise > Team Interview > Engineering Director call > Decision. Overall pretty straightforward and pleasant. First couple of calls are fairly standard fit assessment. Code exercise was nice, no time limit, the exercise was thoughtful. Team call was laidback but could tell they'd taken a fair look into the exercise. Pretty much just questioning choices made, as long as there's a fair reasoning behind them it should be alright. Then a quick Engineering Director call to assess plans, fit, etc. and a decision quickly after that

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      It's mostly tailored to the solution to the code exercise - why certain choices were made, so no standard questions necessarily. Depending on the interviewers, seems like there's a few preferred questions, like having to deal with disagreements or lack of buy in and how to handle that.
      Answer question

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Remote in Apr 2025

      Interview

      TA > Hiring Manager > Take-home exercise. No prior Elixir experience, so the exercise was an easier one. Seemed focused on proving I had learned about the Phoenix ORM framework, and was able to apply optimal performance choices to my solutions. What came as a surprise was a pedantic review of trivial choices, grading them as “major issues”. Seemed obvious they were justifying a preformed judgment. Zero interest in people’s management skills, so I wonder what a toxic environment this company might be. Total waste of time.

      Are you okay being hands-on 70% of your time?

      Engineering Team Leader Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Remote (London, England) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      1. Intro/ Recruiter 2. Hiring Manager 3. Coding Exercise 4. Team Technical Interview 5. Culture Fit interview The first two interviews were good. Interviewers seemed kind and were well prepared. The feedback I received for the coding exercise seemed pedantic, it felt like not much thought or consideration was given to the actual problem solving component of the coding exercise and the feedback was mostly focussed on critiquing the design pattern I used, which in my opinion is largely arbitrary and is not a good measure of problem solving abilities. Coding exercises take time and effort to complete. That needs to factor into the review. If what you want to test is knowledge about a specific design pattern used at Remote then maybe set up the test in that way. Otherwise please nitpick on the actual solution, don't dismiss it based on the fact that this file should be in this folder or this function should be in this file. I'm a 100% certain no one actually run my code because the feedback would have reflected it. I was quite frustrated and disappointed by the quality of feedback.
