I gave an interview at Archipelago for the position of Software Engineer. There were a total of five rounds, and I cleared all of them. However, in the final round, I met with the CEO, Alex. Unfortunately, he was quite rude, and I was rejected after that round.
I applied online. I interviewed at Archipelago Analytics in Dec 2024
Interview
Do not attend their interviews, They are just waste of time and not based on technical skills. They would just introduce about their company and end interview after somtime. Probably they are doing advertising by interviews
Had an intro HR call. Had a follow-up interview with someone from the hiring team. Received a generic rejection email about a week after the interview. Looking back on this a month later it appears as though the intention is to outsource the position as made clear on their careers page. The company forgot to update the requirement of the in-person as they are hiring for in India, as I quote from their listing:
"NOTE: Candidates to be located in New York, NY or San Francisco, CA metro areas only as we are looking to build co-located clusters of engineers that can meet in an office for collaboration and design."
I walked away from this believing I have dodged a potential bullet. Best of luck to these folks.
