      Editor-In-Chief Interview

      8 Feb 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Triplebyte (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      The interview process was disrespectful of the candidate's time. After a standard recruiting call and a half-hour chat with the hiring manager, I was asked to complete a very demanding assignment and then sit for a four-hour on-site interview. Ultimately I was dismissed--the very next morning--for a purported lack of expertise (in the engineering field) that I never claimed to have. It was a thin excuse to cover for an interview that went embarrassingly for one of the founders.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One of the founders attempted to school me on some things I got wrong on a very complicated assignment. This was somewhat expected, since it was scheduled into the interview, and because I was given an opportunity, also scheduled, to review my work. Up to here, I was comfortable with the process of critique they'd designed, even somewhat impressed. But ironically, I had to stop the founder in the middle of his "lesson" to point out that he had confused the two different hardware flaws I was asked to explain in a sample blog post. He said it ultimately "didn't matter" which was which, even though explaining the mechanism of these hardware vulnerabilities was the point of the assignment. It's too bad, because everyone else I spoke to seemed competent and friendly. I feel sorry for the recruiters.
