I applied through college or university. I interviewed at shopkick in May 2017
Difficult interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at shopkick in Aug 2015
Interview
Brief recruiter call to discuss interest.
First technical phone screen was horrible. Interviewer ran an interrogation-style badgering session for 30 minutes before cutting it off and not testing any technical skills. If this is a reflection of the company, no amount of money is worth working there.
Polite recruiters and it seems the product has a lot of growth potential but don't get a hardware engineer to interview a software engineer.
all happened within a week. Started with a behavioral phone interview to see what kind of person you are, followed by a technical interview also over phone. Both interviews took about an hour, while the second highly focused on technicals
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at shopkick
Interview
Was referred by an employee. After a couple of days got a call from the recruiter. After about 1 week, we schedule a technical screen. I was interviewed by a product manager(!) and not by an engineer. After a couple of days, they reached out and say that I passed the interview, and asked for dates for an onsite interview. I provided some dates and waited. After a week or so I got an email from the recruiter saying that my background is not a match to the position, without any apology for me wasting my time. Really rude.
