As I began coding if I asked questions, they seemed annoyed. During the first interview which was live coding, the interviewers were pretentious and condescending. There were initially supposed to be around 5 different interviews for about 5.5 hours with different team members. The onsite interview was where things took a turn for the worst. After the technical phone screen, I was invited to a "remote" onsite interview. Upon completing it I was contacted shortly after to schedule a technical phone screen.ĭuring the phone screen, I was asked to walk through the take-home assignment. At the end of the day, had I been given the opportunity to work at Fetch, I would not have been able to accept.Īfter submitting an application, I was sent a pretty simple take-home coding assignment. The way that I was treated as a candidate says a lot about the company and its culture. The interviewers were rude, did not provide feedback, cut my interview short, and I never received any further communication from the company despite being promised detailed feedback following the interview. If you are looking for a workplace where you will be respected, valued, and allowed to ask questions and learn, don't waste your time interviewing here. Overall, this is probably the worst interview experience that I have gone through. I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fetch Rewards (Birmingham, AL) in Apr 2022 Interview
Regardless, I figured if we were experiencing communication challenges within the first moments of interacting with one another then my joining the team likely wasn't viable, so I withdrew my candidacy. In all fairness, the hiring manager may have misinterpreted some of my feedback since the entire conversation took place on LinkedIn rather than in real time. The conversation went off the rails a little here as they got pretty defensive about their hiring process overall, including about aspects I hadn't even brought up in my feedback to them. Given my own experience hiring, I tried to give the hiring manager some helpful feedback about why the expectation violation might put off some candidates.
I expressed that I'd be happy to proceed with the interview process. The recruiter and hiring manager both took my feedback in stride, and the hiring manager was great about explaining the product org and why the positioning of this role might be different from what most people would expect a Director role to entail. I'm exploring both people leader roles and senior level IC roles, so, being a little conflicted about the positioning of a senior IC role as "Director", I asked if I could chat with the hiring manager to get a better sense of the company culture, the product organization, and the team's problem solving ethos. Directors within the product organization at Fetch are instead senior-level individual contributors, and the recruiter was up front that any advancement into leading people could be 1-2 years out. The process got off to a bit of a rocky start when I learned that they weren't hiring for what would in most companies be considered a Director role. I applied online. The process took 1 day.
