I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New York City Council (New York, NY) in Sept 2025
Interview
My interview process consisted of:
1: Video call screen with leadership
2: A take home challenge builing a full-stack react-django web application
3: In-person interview with techinal questions, live coding, and algorithms
I personally thought the interview process was fine. I made it to the final in person interview everything seemed to go well. My only issue with the whole process was being ghosted after my final interview. I would have a appreciated any feedback on my finished interview process, even a generic we decided to go with another candidate email.
Light screening call, then at-home case study, then in-person interview based on results of the case study. The in-person interview was relatively intense as lots of specific technical questions were asked, but otherwise process was pretty straightforward. Process was speedy until the time of the final decision as HR approval was needed. After offer was made it can take up to 2 months before starting.
Made 3 rounds of interviews and had references called. Process was drawn out over 5 months. Little communication in between interviews and only got updates when I inquired. Seems like a small and busy team.
