1135: Add EatSleepRIDE r=poteto a=BrentMifsud
Toronto based startup. They have a pretty fair interview process.
First interview is an interview with the CTO. Talks about candidates experience, sometimes will ask to do a code walkthrough or see some of the candidates existing work or projects.
Following this interview there is a take-home assignment that is relevant to the job the candidate will be doing. For example, mobile take home I had to hit their api, and plot some of the locations on the map.
Finally there is a behavioural interview with the remaining engineers and the CEO.
There was a follow call after this to discuss salary.

1132: Clarify Automattic's process r=poteto a=nb
The project is no longer a production one, but it's still part-time and paid. Production projects both didn't scale with our hiring process and also were quite unfair, long, and unpredictable.

- We use a live-coding site (Coderpad) but only as a shared IDE as we are a remote company. All of the questions are developed internally and are adapted from problems we have solved. We pair with the candidate on solving the coding questions.
- The pre-interview prep allows candidates to process the question and come up with a solution without the pressure of the interview. In the final interview, the candidate walks us through their solution, and after some discussion, we pair with them to implement a feature change on top of their solution.

This was in regards to DoorDash with their offices in **Tokyo, Japan**
The interview was a Sudoku Solver, 30 minutes, and little time for interview questions afterwards.

## Additional context
This is primarily geared towards the iOS interviews (though Android is probably similar).
The take-home exercise (they refer to it as the "coding assessment") asks you to build out a small app along with a design sheet/spec and to submit the exercise with an estimate of the amount of hours you took to build it (I am a more junior developer and it took me roughly 15 hours, though the UI portion took me much less time). After submission, if your take-home exercise was satisfactory, you are then asked to take part in a video call interview with a few (2-3) engineers - roughly 1 hour long. This video interview involves domain specific knowledge - in my case, it was Swift language fundamentals like optionals, table/collection views, structs vs classes, memory leaks, etc. They also ask some open-ended questions regarding "bigger picture" ideas though this isn't really system design.

Varies depending on the team you interview but I did get a leetcode exercise when interviewing with them, there was no option of a take home test or anything like that.

Pluralsight was recently acquired by Vista Equity Partners and now makes prospective hires take a mandatory IQ/cognitive/personality test that asks rapid-fire brainteasers that are not relevant to the position.
The test is called a CCAT. [You can find more information about it here.](https://www.criteriacorp.com/what-expect-the-criteria-cognitive-aptitude-test-ccat)
