I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jet (Dublin, Dublin) in Sept 2018
Interview
The process for very detailed and in-depth. There are quite a few steps they really want to be sure you are the right fit for the team.
1. Informal Discussion with Recruiter
2. Technical test via HackerRank CodePair
Onsite Interview:
1. Manager/VP interview to discuss the company and discussing how you handle certain situations
2. Coding Challenge & System Design (Senor Levels)
3. Web Design & Architecture discussion
4. Another Coding Challenge via HackerRank CodePair (As the last interview was with a remote employee)
Overall, it was a very good experience. It is a very tiring day over 3hrs long. Most of your interviewers will not be from the team that is hiring. They like to have a mix of interviewers interview you, each with a different background and specialties.
The overall process was this:
1 video interview
Onsite
The person who took the video interview seemed very nice, and seemed technically strong.
The onsite was 4 continuous 45 minutes interviews, with a ten minute break after the first two - no lunch. And I was not aware of the type of interviews - despite me asking the recruiter about it (She probably didn't know).
On the day of interview, I was asked questions like "What is polymorphism / abstraction / inheritance?" & other new grad questions. Big company interviews these days are usually Data structures and algorithms. I was completely out of touch with my basics, but also quite uninterested at this point for asking such trivial googl-able questions at a Senior level. Ofc, there were 2 other interviews that were pretty technical, and I should ack that.
All the four interviewers seemed clueless about the process being followed & a common response I received was - "We are at this process of being merged with Walmart, so we are still trying to figure it out". Don't get me wrong but wasn't that in 2016?
Right from being received by the recruiter to leaving the campus, it looked I was not welcomed here. People seemed quite grumpy & definitely doesn't give a nice image to a potential employee.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jet
Interview
I did on online code pairing, then they brought me into the office for a round of interviews. Then they brought me back for a team matching with two teams, where I was led to believe I would be offered a role. After that, for 2 weeks I had a lot of difficulty getting in touch with my recruiter to figure out what was going on, until finally he scheduled a phone call to tell me they didn't want to move forward. I felt very ill-used by the process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jet (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
I applied the position on their career page. A week later, a recruiter sent me an email asking me to send her availabilities for one hour technical phone interview. This was not common at all to not speak a recruiter before proceeding to phone screen.
However, I didn't care much since it saved me time for the interview process, so I went with it. Two weeks later, I had phone screen with one of their engineers. Overall, I did really well and I was asked to give availabilities for onsite technical rounds.
I sent out my availabilities, and never got followed up. I followed up with the recruiter a couple times, and still haven't gotten a response. At this point, I don't care at all about this interview process, so many better companies are out there in NYC.
Overall, I do NOT recommend anyone to go through Jet interview process. It's such a waste time. I wonder how they treat their FT employees and how transparency the culture is.
