Shoelace Software Developer interview questions

It was a very unusual interview process compared to other companies I have applied for. Although I was interviewing for a technical position, most of the interview was focused on getting to know me, and in return founders were really interested in making sure I understand the company culture. First, I had an in person meeting with company founders talking about my background and company background. Then, there was a programming test that I had to do with two of the employees present in the same room. The task was not really difficult (in my opinion). I could use my preferred programming language. During writing the code, they were occasionally asking questions on how I am making my decisions. Finally, there was another meeting with founders mainly because I requested to have that meeting to ask a couple of questions.

Met with CEO: Hour long meeting, didn't talk about tech. Overview of business and product / getting to know me? Interview was lengthy - didn't really see the purpose of the interview - unsure if CEO saw the purpose of it either. Interview was unorganized, and interviewer was 20 minutes late; although that was better than the 'first' interview; in-which My first impression of the company was myself agreeing to a phone interview - in-which I was not called or contacted - complete disrespect of my time. Second interview was with CTO - no structure. It was an overview of the tech department - basically an hour long elevator pitch about how the tech team functions. I wasn't asked a single technical question in over 2 hours of interview time - APPLYING FOR A DEV POSITION! Side Note: Funny enough my second interviewer didn't even know I'd already come into the office and had spoken with the CEO. Never heard from the company again - In all honestly I'm unsure if they are actually hiring. Note to Management: please be respectful to candidates time! we're in the job marketing looking for a job which is hard, and believe it or not time-consuming - having no structure to an interview process, ignoring candidates, not confirming interview times, being late, and not showing up IS A COMPLETE LACK OF RESPECT FOR SOMEONE and creates a lot of bad debt for your company. ADVICE: A 10-20 minute coding, challenge -- then once that's out of the way, let's talk business/product. Don't tell candidates about the company for 2 hours, then ignore them - doesn't make sense. I've successfully interviewed at bigger, and smaller companies - and I've never seen such a lack of interview process, and respect - there's really no excuse when trying to build a successful company. ADVICE TO CANDIDATES: I wouldn't waste your time preparing for an interview with a company that doesn't care about you or your time - the market is large enough.
