  Airtable Software Engineer interview: six-hour coding exercise and $200 certificateAirtable · Software Engineer · Take-home Project · Jun 2020

  No response

  I applied online and heard back quickly about a recruiter call, but the tone felt scripted and quota driven. It seemed like the person on the other end wasn't closely involved with the team or the role. The next step was a six-hour coding exercise before I had spoken with anyone from the actual team. I was told I'd receive a $200 Amazon gift certificate for completing it, but the exercise didn't…

  IMC Software Engineer asynchronous video interview after an online assessmentIMC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jan 2016

  I applied in November, and about two weeks later I received a link for an online assessment. I did the work myself, but the part that really got to me was the interview afterward. Instead of speaking with someone on a call, I had to record my responses in a video format. I remember feeling unusually nervous because I wasn't used to talking into a camera without any back-and-forth. It didn't feel…
