I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mudflap in Oct 2023
Interview
Overall, it was a very enjoyable, professional experience, and all the interviewers were engaged and friendly.
First round was all behavioral questions to see if there's a mutual fit.
Next step was the 'virtual onsite' with 3 1-hour interviews:
- System design: how would you build a url shortener at scale
- Resume deep dive: go through previous positions and discuss
- Code challenge: Discussion about Rails and MVC, then a relatively easy challenge where the test cases were already written and you need to get them passing.
I did not get an offer, but I was provided quick and useful feedback, which was much appreciated.
I met my future co-workers, engineering manager, and then the CEO at the end. He is a great guy and has established an excellent company culture. I would recommend working there for anyone who is looking.
