Application
I interviewed at Super.com (Toronto, ON)
Interview
initial conversation, it's a default
Frontend and backend test: I had to build something live with a frontend engineer and then something with a backend engineer
another interview: he explained how things work at super.com and what was expected from me
Interview
Entire process seemed straightforward, but ultimately they seem all over the place and ghosted me.
Process should've been pretty simple: Recruiter call, hiring manager, tech screen and/or virtual onsite.
My situation: Recruiter call, hiring manager (who said they would contact me next day and made a point of saying that they _DEFINITELY_ would contact me). A week goes by and I had to reach out to the recruiter to find out what's going on. A day or so later I get word that I'm a good fit, but might be a better fit for a different team. I then get another interview invite with no details other than a Google meet link. I join the chat and it was the hiring manager for the other team (which surprised me since I thought this was another recruiter followup according to the invite). The hiring manager for the other team seemed genuinely annoyed to be on this call from the beginning, but I gave me spiel. Weeks later crickets.
Not recommended -- you will not be respected. Also do yourself a favor and also check out their product (phone apps) if you want to see what you'll be working with.

Question 1
Some rapid-fire technical questions that should be fairly easy for a senior position
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Super.com (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2023
Interview
I applied online for a different position, a month later, got contacted for a different position with similar job description. The interview process breaks down into the following 5 rounds: 1. Round 1: Initial Call with recruiter (30 mins): This part of the interview is the standard "Tell me about yourself" style of interview questions going over your current career and looking forward to the future. 2. Round 2: Critical Thinking Test (10 mins) - This is a stupid test provided by a third party company, that gives you IQ styled questions and won't provide you with your final grade (A red flag for me) 3. Round 3: Interview with Hiring Manager (90 mins): This part of the interview consisted of some personal career questions, some technical questions, and a create-react-app style of screen sharing. 4. Round 4: Interview with Director (120 mins): Didn't make it to this stage 5. Round 5: Cultural Fit (30 mins): Didn't make it to this stage.
