I applied online. I interviewed at Santec (Hackensack, NJ) in Oct 2022
Interview
SAVE YOURSELF FROM WASTING YOUR TIME!!
They give you a take home project based coding test which you have 48 hours to finish.
You'll be given a VERY SPECIFIC requirements for this coding project which is not really usable outside of their industry (3d printing technology).
This got me doubt that they might be actually making me work for free, and I feel that way even more based on the communication after that with the recruiter.
I never heard back from the recruiter for a while and when I finally heard back, they just replied in two lines "Hi, how are you? You did not pass."
It was such an unprofessional reply and they didn't even provide me with any feedbacks in regards to the result. I even reached out to the recruiter and asked "Was there any errors in my program? It works well without problems on my end, so I'd like to know how I could improve it." NO REPLY, of course.
If you don't want to be GHOSTED like this after spending 48 hours on this take-home interview or a potential free labor, then turn around and save yourself.
Additionally, I found out after I applied, but their proposed SALARY is only $60,000, and you'll be based in either NJ or SV.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In short, you have to create a program which will be used to verify the consistency between the bill of material and the 3d CAD files that end in ".sldprt " extension. There are so many other detailed requirements that you have to implement in your program.
