Lengthy, the process begins with a leetcode and then in person interviews in which you will be quizzed about the technical aspects of your listed skills. The interview goes in depth so make sure you know your stuff
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to structure a database to solve a specific business need
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Powerhive in Aug 2023
Interview
The whole process took over 4 weeks. It started with an online application, then proceeded to a telephone interview and then a pitch interview with the CEO and COO. When I got to the last round, they had me come in for another interview round to answer additional questions. They promised to get back to me within a week afterwards, two weeks passed and had to seek feedback from the company, only to be told that the role had been put on a hiring freeze as they were looking for additional funding. This was okay, however, after two months they opened the role again. They needed a recruiter to guide them through the process since it was very bungled up from the get go.

Question 1
Pitch how Wells Fargo can cut costs by partnering with Powerhive
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Powerhive (Berkeley, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
In a word, demeaning.
This interview was a clear case of age discrimination despite my age being obvious from my resume. Anyone who is senior and considering joining Powerhive should be ready for a bad time and a disrespectful attitude from the management there.

Question 1
There were some simple technical questions but the only thing that had any buzz was a project I did in the telecommunications field. Their technology is basic and their core business is financial, not technical.
