I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitBook in Dec 2020
Interview
1 45-minute VC interview with a recruiter and a software engineer who couldn't be bothered to look into the camera.
After our call, during which I was asked questions like "Why do you like Typescript?" I received an email from the recruiter indicating I was not technically savvy enough for the role, and that I didn't demonstrate an ability to be autonomous. It was frustrating to hear, considering the vague and disinterested nature of their interview, and I am clueless as to how a company thinks they could evaluate these things based on the questions they asked.
If their interview process is indicative of their internal working structure, I would highly urge you to look elsewhere.
GitBook reached out to me on LinkedIn and invited me for an initial screening interview. All seemed good, they told me they'd like to proceed and to let them know if I'd like to continue.
I did so and now two weeks have passed; No reply yet.
Not happy with the recruiter at GitBook for ghosting me.
It just shows a lack of professionalism and basic decency.
