I applied online. I interviewed at Elephas in Apr 2026
Interview
Communication was very fast at the beginning and then communication slowed. All of the questions were very technical and culture forward. Scheduling was very easy and convenient. Interviewers were easy to talk with and answered questions well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any hesitations working for a startup?
It was good to see the HR was talking technically, but they may not have the experience to judge the scientific ability and credibility. Also, they sent a questionnaire to assess analytical thinking and IQ, but ghosted after that; no update on the application status even after follow-up. Companies, especially startups, take the candidates' time as take it for granted. Respect is something lacking in the interview process. And the important thing is they are not asking out of the world, high IQ questions to judge, even so, you can still respect the candidate's time. An interview candidate is one's future employee, disrespecting anyone's time is a great attribute to become successful.
I applied online. I interviewed at Elephas (Madison, WI) in Oct 2023
Interview
The first interview is with a recruiter. Then they send some assessments that you have to take. The recruiter then contacted me again to invite me to come onsite to interview with four different people. After that the recruiter called me with feedback and to discuss an offer.
