I applied online and received the online challenge. I have not started them yet, but will do so in the next week. work in progress. I will update once I complete the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in May 2017
Interview
I applied online. First was an online coding challenge. Then a technical phone interview. I think the interviewer had the speaker on because there was a lot of interfering noises at his end. I had to ask him to repeat what he said several times because of the noises. Then he grew impatient. Overall, not really a good interviewing experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (New York, NY) in May 2017
Interview
Total waste of time. Don't bother applying here. Even though you do everything well, they won't even give you onsite anyway. In total one OA with two coding questions. Then three phone interviews.
One thing is that during my second phone interview, my phone signal was really bad. The interviewer didn't care that much and didn't say more than 10 sentences.
If you need to have some technical interview experiences, this is good. Otherwise, don't expect anything meaningful from this place.
