There was an initial phone screen with recruiter. After the phone screen, the recruiter arranged for an onsite interview very quickly. The onsite was with four interviewers. Their questions we divided up into algorithmic and coding questions, as well as system design questions.

I applied online, scheduled interview with technical recruiter. It was cancelled several times and finally interviewed with him and moved to the next round. I spent 3 hours interviewing with 2 team members of Project Manager in that panel interview. After that I was scheduled a final interview with direct of enginering. But suddenly it was cancelled. I reached out the recruiter what happened and she replied they will back with scheduled time by EOD. And then they went ghosted. I reached out them several times requesting the current status but No reply.

Question 1
Did you have any contrasting opinions with the stakeholders?
I applied online. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (San Jose, San Jose) in Jan 2025
Interview
An extremely lengthy, exhausting process with no consideration for the candidate.
The process was:
- Initial approach with Human Resources
- Technical interview: 1 hour
- Programming test (Lasts 8 hours)
- Technical interviews (two technical interviews and one with Human Resources)
The technical interviews last around 2 hours each
The HR interview lasts 1 hour
At the end of the entire process, they rejected me. When I asked them why, they told me they didn't feel I had enough experience in microservices.
This bothers me, since they could see from day one on my resume that I had only a few months of experience in this area, and I told them this repeatedly.
I found it extremely disrespectful to make someone go through this long and arduous process, only to be rejected because of something they could see from the start.
