I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Semgrep
Interview
It's been impossible to get my actual review of this company approved without it being immediately flagged no matter how general I make it which leads me to wonder what other information about this company is being suppressed. Just know that the process is disorganized and a waste of time. I was left in the dark after interviews for weeks and then given a generic rejection email without any feedback once I got to the code challenge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of behavioral questions and then a Typescript web scraping challenge that suddenly became a vanilla JS challenge the day of.
Initial phone screen, talked about background and some behavioral questions. Quick follow-ups after the interview though didn't make it to the next steps. There are about four more rounds after the initial phone screening.
I only went through more of the cultural ones - from my understanding, there were some more technical ones after and a panel. They were incredibly accomodating and understanding when my schedule was all over the place. I had to cancel at the last minute, and they were super supportive. Everyone I spoke to was great, interviews were enjoyable - seems like a great culture and place to work!

Question 1
The usual - questions about projects I worked on, what I'm looking for in my next role, why Semgrep. (again, didn't get to technical portion)
