Job description didn't actually match their real requirements. It was not mentioned the role was a junior one. They brought up this point only during the interview. Or it was just an excuse not to proceed further in the selection process. In general their selection and interviewing process is very poor: I had a few interviews with them for different roles and in all cases they have been very unprofessional, giving no feedback at all after the interview, refusing to answer emails with request of feedback unless solicited by higher management. This is just offensive for a candidate who has spent time and energies in preparing for the interview. At the end should not surprise when reading the company reviews on glassdoor: management seems to be the weak point and company culture/motivation is lame.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I knew the role was a junior one: how can i know if not specified in your job description?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KAYAK (Boston, MA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Very Easy Interview.
Started with Phone Route - Multiple questions on Java/Javascript (OOP concepts/HTTP pretty basic CS questions).
Next round for live coding - they had snippets of code samples. Its pretty simple as well.
Final In-Person round - Met 3 people and a manager.
The best part comes here, after 2 weeks of wait they said they are closing this role temporarily.
