I have, for an engineering position.
I put the experience on GlassDoors, but in general... it's fine, but took way too long.
On plus side. The coding challenge was amazing and I learned a lot doing it. I passed the first code challenge, then I didn't pass the followup exercise which was on slack. It was very clear that the exercises are directly related what I would be doing.
On the negative side, the whole process took far too long and there were around 1 month delays in all the messaging. That made me think I don't want to apply there again, because I don't have infinite time in my life. However, if you can afford to wait, it is fine.
- karel_3d 4y agobtw their challenges are public on github https://github.com/fly-hiring https://github.com/fly-hiring
- tptacek 4y agoYours definitely took too long; based on feedback that included yours, we changed up the process. We're not perfect by any stretch, but I think we're much, much faster now. (I'm writing a post about the iterations we've done on this process since 2021.) Long story short: you're right; you had an experience with us that we're not OK with.
- karel_3d 4y agoThat's nice to hear. The actual interview was really fun (although it was at the end clear you are looking for someone a little different) and I learned about eBPF, which was great. If you fixed the delays, then it's even better.
- tptacek 4y agoFixed? No. But we're much better now than we were, and getting better. Again, we're not OK with dragging this out for people, and we definitely did that to you.
