I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Londen, Engeland) in Apr 2020
Interview
Interview process was smooth. Was initially contacted via LinkedIn and had the initial HR screening. Then had a call with a senior engineer, which if successful at that point went onto providing a technical challenge which you have a week to complete (API based challenge). After which the challenge was reviewed and if successful had a final round of interviews which lasted 2 hours with various people ranging from dev team, managers and HR.
Enjoyable interview process, kept in the loop always. Quick turnaround time.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Checkout.com
Interview
The process was very positive - I was able to talk to people from many different levels of the company, and discuss a full understanding of the job, and of my abilities. Everyone was very friendly, and clearly very satisfied working at checkout.com
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a bug had made it to production, and a fix was ready that had to be deployed in 3 hours, how would you test the fix to ensure that it's working and is going to fix the problem.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Checkout.com
Interview
Checkout applied to interview me.
I graciously accepted, and asked a few introductory questions. The Checkout.com person blatantly ignored them and sent me a very terse "ok we'll call you at X tomorrow".
I waited until that time, had my headphones in, waited for my phone to ring - as per the calendar invite - someone was to call me on my cell.
A few minutes after the interview "started", I received an email with a zoom link. I of course, didn't see this in time, so I replied, apologising, but asking for clarification.
The person came back with a reply that can only be deemed snarky, implying that I was a) not aware of zoom, and b) unable to read.
This demonstrated a serious lack of professionalism and I couldn't help but question whether this is the sort of place it'd be worth taking my talents.
