The Interview process consisted of a short screen, a several hour take home programming assignment, a followup interview over the take home, another technical interview, and then a quick final interview followed shortly after by an offer.
The process was a bit adhoc, but that's expected with smaller high growth companies.
The interviews and the take home project were reasonable and directly applicable to the role.
The final interview was mostly repetition of stuff from various other parts of the process with a new person, so it was a bit unnecessary.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the take home, write an application with the programming language of your choice to do a data processing task.
I applied online. I interviewed at Caper in July 2021
Interview
The interview started out with a HR screening then two separate interviews with their team. The interview process was highly unprofessional. Throughout the process, there was poor communication from the recruiter. I was also told very last minute concerning interview details the evening before my interview.
The final interview was highly unprofessional. During the interview, the interviewer came off as very disinterested and also left the interview early due to having something else to attend to.
Although I reached the final stage of the interview, I received no news regarding the decision. Even if the decision is a rejection, a candidate should be offered an update especially after they have taken so much time and effort to attend each interview. Very disappointed in the hiring practices of this company.
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Caper in June 2021
Interview
It's one of my worst interview experiences. The interviewer is very disrespectful, looks contemptuous throughout the interview, questions your ability and interrupts you. And they'll take you as an unpaid tester. If you want to interview this company, be careful! You will get the worst interview experience and waste 1 hour of your life. It's like a company that swindles investors. Its products are very immature and its employees are very unprofessional. Don't waste time on companies that aren't worth it.
