Overall, a pretty solid waste of time (~14 hours) and vacation days. It appears that they don’t care about respecting candidates’ time or adhering to the values they like to talk about. Avoid unless you are looking to practice interviewing over Zoom. Began the process early last month. First step involved a call with the internal recruiter who went over culture and salary expectations. Next was a Zoom call with a Director to go over past experiences. After that, a coding exercise was sent over, with a 3 day deadline. The exercise itself takes a not insignificant amount of time to complete, even though what is asked for is fairly basic. A few days later, the final round interview was scheduled, which was 4 rounds of Zoom calls. This included talking to a variety of directors, engineers and C-suite members. Several interviewers seemed to be going off of lists of pre-prepared questions without much other discussion. Director-level employees seemed much too inexperienced to hold such roles. After the interview there was total radio silence from Hinge; not even a courtesy email thanking the candidates who make it to the final round for their time.
