I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Crelate (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2022
Interview
A fairly productive interview with the architect.
An entirely unproductive interview with an angry-seeming junior software engineer.
That would have been part of an interview loop going up to the CEO had I continued with it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Stone cold into a recursive linguistic tree problem that required multiple classes, discussion, diagramming, and iterative build/inspection approach, but had to do it in a flat web page with none of the usual tools you would use to query, plan, and resolve it.
A waste of time off work with a convoluted high school problem unrelated to real-world day-to-day duties.
Mostly about making the interviewer feel like the cleverest person in the room, so I bowed out.
