Thanks for providing your feedback! We always appreciate constructive criticism and are working to define the best interview process for our culture and team. Our interview process involves an on-site interview with members from our engineering team to assess a candidate's technical skill in a real-world task. Often times, once a candidate’s passed an initial technical screening alongside a company-fit screening (often combined), we will invite a candidate to an on-site to assess for a technical knowledge and skill as well as alignment with STORD’s values and team culture. Past challenges have involved warehousing algorithms, inventory management functionality, and testing suites; each of these challenges are done via pair programming with a closed codebase. When the candidate will not be interacting with protected components of our system, we do not require an NDA; if the on-site delves deeper into the codebase, the candidate is always asked to complete an NDA to be allowed to participate. After completion of the on-site, the participating engineers and STORD team provide a graded feedback of the candidate on technical knowledge, thought-process, adaptability, and various points in STORD’s culture and values. If the candidate does not meet these standards/fit, they are unfortunately not progressed to an offer; this is communicated to the candidate through the channel they interviewed through (angellist, recruiter, inbound email, linkedin, etc…). In this instance through an outside recruiter, we do apologize if that feedback was not conveyed in a timely or appropriate manner. We sincerely appreciate your time and want to thank you again for going through the steps in our interview process!
