Online assessment -> Phone interview -> Final round that lasted 5 hours
Honestly they think they're the next big thing when all they do is build a platform that send data to insurance companies. The last interview with one of the founding engineers was so bland. Another engineer, a team lead for one of the teams there, sat in the interview. He looked extremely uninterested, did not say anything after introducing himself.
The founding engineer asked me, the new grad, to design an architecture similar to what they did to send data in JSON format to an insurance company so the user didn't have to fill out Everquote's form and the insurance company's form twice.
Instead of focusing on the design, the founding engineer asked: "What technologies do you think would best fit our scenario?" Huh? What does this question even mean? Do I think a specific programming language will be better for this design? Why would the programming language matter? He continued to ask some stupid questions like "What do we need to worry about when implementing the API?" I talked about scale, but that wasn't what he was looking for. He said we needed the API authentication key from Geico to make sure Geico knew that it was Everquote calling their API.
Unfortunately, this company thinks that they're the next big thing because they're scamming users out of their information and selling it to insurance companies.
I'm glad I got rejected, because I had a terrible experience talking to members of their team. They are all white. They lack diversity. I wouldn't be surprised if they only hired white candidates out of everyone that interviewed that day.
