I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sprout Social in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process is composed of a Technical Screening followed by Take home and a combo of behavioral and technical. Interviewer was a few minutes late and on top we had issues getting audio to work for him so we spent between 5 to 10 minutes on trying to troubleshoot as there was no way to test audio and video through HackerRank Live. After we decided to call each other and I went through the Technical Screening and was able to answer all the interviewer's questions which he reacted positively to each of my answers. Finished the coding question within 10 minutes and was able to explain my process which the interviewer thanked me for explaining during coding and for providing a good explanation as well as confirmed the approach was good and correct. Got an email the following week stating that they are not going to move forward with me and the feedback that follows was to work on my fundamentals on the technical portion? Seemed like generic feedback and it seems as they either did not wish to disclose the real reason or did not want to ask the interviewer.

Interview
Great interview process, a bit long with 5 interviews and 2 coding interviews, but questions weren't too bad, and everyone seemed nice and professional. The two coding interviews were with 2/3 other devs and were whiteboarding problems and pseudocoding. I was also given a courtesy email when I wasn't chosen.

Interview
Went through a technical round with a senior engineer. The questions they asked me were fair, though it probably wasn’t my best performance. That being said, the main thing that irked me was the overall demeanor of the interviewer. They complained about having too many meetings, they mentioned that most of their work consists of putting out fires instead of working on new development, and they just seemed like they really didn’t want to be there. It makes me wonder what’s going on at Sprout if their interviewers can’t even pretend to not hate either their job and/or interviewing a candidate for 1 hour. Also, during the technical interview, I feel like I barely had time to think of my answer before they gave up on me and just gave me the answer and moved on. So I felt rushed.

Interview
Initial recruiter screen went well from my perspective, but apparently not from the company's as I was not moved on to the technical round. Normally not a big deal but the recruiter originally reached out to me so not sure what could have happened.
