      Software Engineer Interview

      28 June 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Perpetua in June 2022

      Interview

      There are 4 rounds in total and last for 1 month. 1. Phone screen 2. Video interview 3. 1-hr live coding with 3rd party organization 4. On-site interview (product + technical) It's a waste of time, the interviewers swapped twice, and the last time was swapped a few hours before the on-site interview and none of the engineers from the post is involved at the end. I don't know if it is possible that none of the team members was trying to interview a "potential future colleague". Besides, the interview content is randomly assigned. Even though the post is claimed to backend focused, the on-site interview is focusing on React. After investing so much time in a startup interview, they are not willing to give you some feedback, just an email notifying you that you are not suitable for the post. You may get a general answer after further asking and then ghosting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      simple question on db design some short questions on Python leetcode-style questions on whatever language live-coding with React and Nodejs

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Perpetua

      Interview

      Weird interview process. The company seems interesting on paper, but the interview was an absolute turn-off. The interviewer showed up late and had his camera set up on his crotch, looking up his nostrils. He started by telling me that he built everything at Perpetua and then just went through a checklist of questions with a "Hmm sounds good", "hmm makes sense" at the end of each one. Then he randomly just asks me to design a recipe website verbally lol.

      Design a recipe website. Other standard behavioural questions.

      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Perpetua (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      First Round: The call with HR was good. Second round: 1-1 30 min interview with the Hiring Manager. He did not seem to be interested in guiding or hearing what solution I am offering to open ended database modelling question. He was definitely not engaged and made me feel like I am wasting my time. To the hiring manager: why waste your time and my time if you are not interested from the beginning.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on your interview experience. We appreciate your insights. We are glad to hear that the first-round call with HR was positive, however, we deeply regret that the candidate had a negative experience during the second-round interview. We will address this matter internally to ensure a more productive and supportive interview environment in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we value your feedback. If you have any further thoughts or suggestions, please reach out to us via recruiting@perpetua.io.
