J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Hopper en avr. 2022
Entretien
First call with HR where you talk about yourself - pretty standard - a casual chat.
I only made it to first round of technical interview. They had some pretty standard questions - what project are you proud of - explain me how you made the team grow and so on. They send you instructions on how to answer these questions before the interview. I guess if you do not follow that approach you have zero chance. You need to follow Situation - Task - Action - Result approach and talk numbers - which I did not. I guess it is a part of their requirement process - I am not sure as I can't know what exactly they did not like.
Second half of the technical interview is a pretty standard question that you need to solve within 15-20 minutes. I was able to solve it but not in the way the person interviewing me expect me to solve I guess. He told me that I needed to use a Map.. I solved the question using a Set - I do not know if and why he did not like it despite code running and output being correct.
I received the rejection email in 15 minutes.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
You have a list of Passenger objects where every passenger has a name, a loyalty class (integer) and a group (string). You need to order the passengers by loyalty but higher loyalty passengers take the passengers with same group with them. So if a passenger has a lower loyalty class they still go in the order up if their group is equal to another passenger with same group but higher loyalty.
So the question is to group passengers by group and order those groups by whoever has the highest loyalty within that group.
Full day of remote interviews, 4-5 sessions each with data structures programming. One behavioral round with hiring manager towards the end. Process started with a technical screen consisting of an online programming assessment.

The company seemed really pretentious with them trying so hard to emulate Amazon.
Got rejected after a screening round which was an LLD round. Who screens on the basis of LLD though? The interviewer was not engaged throughout the process and was doing some of his own work. I had to say his name multiple times to bring him back to the conversation.
External recruiter reached out, and afterwards I chatted with a technical recruiter from Hopper. The written communication has been great, polite and timely. The initial chat was going fine until we started talking about the rest of the interview process. The recruiter explained to me that the next step was leetcode style and they used to give 2 days for the challenge to be completed but the women engineers complained that it was too short so they decided to make it a week. I got offended by this specification but still finished the interview as if I wasn’t. Did not continue the process afterwards.
