The hiring process for technical positions at Bazaarvoice is fairly straight forward. There is a technical test and if you pass you get an interview. They are extremely protective of the culture at Bazaarvoice, so the face to face seemed much like a personality test. They also grilled me on a few questions from the skills test, but that was more like seeing if I was the one who took the test.

The process started positively and professionally. First, there was a call with HR, followed by an interview with the manager and her superior. Then I received a homework assignment (covering technical and soft skills). After submitting it, I had a team interview, and finally, a conversation with someone from a different team. Structure I was originally informed there would be three steps, but it turned into four interviews. Additionally, one of the homework tasks was delayed due to being forgotten, which disrupted the expected flow. Feedback HR shared very encouraging feedback from the managers ("highly positive") and described my test submissions as "amazing." Despite this, I never received a clear explanation for the final rejection—even weeks after the final step. I'm sharing this review now because I’m still waiting and feel the process lacked closure. Timeline A decision was promised "early next week" after the last step, then postponed. I eventually had to set a final deadline myself—only to receive a response one day past that date, nearly a month after the last conversation. Positive Note The HR representative was consistently supportive and communicative throughout. Their professionalism was the highlight of the experience and kept things on a positive note, even as delays and miscommunication increased.
