I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Highspot in May 2022
Interview
Second interview, after screened by recruiter:
1. Hiring manager was 5-10 minutes late to the interview
2. She didn’t know what position I applied for
3. She didn’t have an algorithm challenge ready to go
4. Spent another 5 minutes looking for another algorithm challenge to give me
5. Finally came up with an algorithm that took her nearly 10 minutes to explain because it was so poorly worded and presented.
No tests or edge cases or expected output provided.
6. Displayed lack of emotional intelligence and frustration when her algorithm assignment was questioned. Very condescending.
7. Made the interview a hostile environment
8. Very hard to understand. Spoke broken English.

I applied online. I interviewed at Highspot (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
First round of recruiter screening and then one technical interview with the manager. Typical Leetcode easy-medium question + some behavioral questions. Leetcode was easy and the manager was looking for thought process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Highspot (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2023
Interview
My Interview was a tech screen followed by a full day of interview. At one point in my full day the person didn't show up. It was on me to contact the recruiter to let them know and reschedule that conversation.
All conversations went well except for the last. That person spent most of the time talking about what they knew. They watched me code the solution to a problem I misunderstood 3 times. It wasn't until the last 10 minutes that they admitted a crucial misstep that happened in the start of the conversation.
The recruiter emailed me a request to speak the next day. I gave them my availability and they didn't call. I emailed them and they confirmed I was rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The code questions are all over the place. I only had one question that was leetcode.
If someone tells you that this is a method input:
[ [8,10], [2,3], [7,9]]
* the tuples are dinner reservations for start time, end time
* assume military time, don't ask (they're not in chronological order).
* In the above example, you would need two tables to place the reservation.
