I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bandsintown (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview consisted of two interview questions. The first was very easy, and the two employees took me for a beer in-between the two questions. The interview lasted 7 hours, and the beer did not help. It was also not made clear to me that I would be working for Tonefuse, a subsidiary of Bandsintown Group, Inc. and not Bandsintown the app.
I was told by my first manager that their plan was not necessarily to hire the best candidate, but the one who asked for the least. Unfortunately, I checked both boxes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Ruby script to convert the colors of electric resistors to ohm values.
2. Program the scoring system for a bowling alley (I was asked to code this in PHP).
A developer who was hired on my team by the "Director of Technologies" (a job title unique to Bandsintown) received a phone screen and a coding competency challenge of any kind was not offered. His failure to perform was blamed on me.... by the person who decided to hire him. He was clearly not qualified.
