I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Industrious (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
Starts out with a short multiple choice questionnaire take home quiz. If they like it, they’ll send you a longer quiz that is essay questions and open book. Onsite, they will look at your answers and ask you why you choose that answer. You will meet with 3 to 4 people in various other departments.

Question 1
How to add two numbers and how you would change the function given different requirements.
Screen call, then interview with the engineering manager, then a take-home assessment for system design.
I was ghosted and never heard from either the internal recruiter or manager again.
I spent all weekend on that design take-home and felt really good about it. They could have at least given feedback.
What a joke. This company is on rocky ground anyway given the pandemic and remote situation (even their workers are all remote- for a company that rents out office space).
