I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Fireblocks (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Sept 2020
Interview
Every interview took a lot more than scheduled.
In the end I got a home assignment that again- took longer than they told me it would take. I got an email that the home assignment wasn't good enough.
When I asked for feedback on my assignment (this is after I spent about 7-8 hours interviewing) I never heard back from them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to tell about a project I did, system design, and a home assignment.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fireblocks (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in June 2024
Interview
The interview process involved several steps: initial engagement, few technical qualifications assessments, soft skills assessment, and finally, the job offer.
Super Fast Feedback:
The feedback between each step was incredibly quick. For some steps, the HR recruiter contacted me with the outcomes just 2 hours after the actual interview.
No Home Assignment:
I had a significant number of concurrent processes, and the company's confidence in assessing technical qualifications without a home assignment set them apart. This approach made me prioritize their process higher.
Genuine Interest:
Throughout the process, I felt that the company was genuinely interested in me as a person, not just as "one of the candidates." Whether or not I was just "one of many," their ability to create that impression indicates great cultural practices and HR<->RnD efficient communication channels.
