Interview didn't even happen. I was left on wait for over three months.
Started with a referral, I was supposed to have an introductory call with a Director, he claimed to be sick and ignored me for three months. I got rejected from the job.

Question 1
"Can I get back to you later this week" - 3 months ago
great process overall, uses their own platform to dogfood, besides that they are remote forward company and are engineer focused. i believe the interview was thoughtfully planned out. There are areas of improvement everywhere but this place did it well
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HackerRank (Irvine, CA) in Sept 2025
Interview
Somewhat fine, but had a problem with last minute rescheduling. Interview was rescheduled twice right before the original time and I was not consulted about the new time. Then, halfway through the full-loop, my interviews were cancelled without any word or reason.
The HR person said they wanted to move forward with other candidates, but not until the day after, wasting my time. All in all, personnel was good but the recruiter was very sloppy.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HackerRank (London, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was a interview on the Hacker Rank tool with some leetcode questions. Task wasn't too difficult to do. Interview was quite pleasant but I was slightly out of practice with Leet Code styled questions.
