I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Own Up (Boston, MA) in Apr 2022
Interview
Weirdly disconnected, felt like a fishing expedition. One person was clearly not paying attention and responding to email the entire zoom call. The other was more focused but it was also clear they already had found their candidate and the intfet like a courtesy call.

Talk about your experience in a Call center focused environment.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re disappointed to hear you did not feel you had our interviewer’s full attention. We’ll address your feedback on that point in our ongoing interview training.
I had a video call with the hiring manager for 30 mins—fundamental questions based on the resume, and they very much need a SQL person. Asked about the current daily work. Nice conversation.
Interview was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed meeting the team and teaching them about logging and observability across microservices. Technical interview was fun and collaborative. Got a dream job offer, so stopped this process before completing IAC architecture challenge.
