All the interviewers were nice except the behavioral round with a manager. The manager seemed curt and impatient and cut me off a couple times. They seemed pissed off so I felt like I bombed that interview and wouldn't get an offer. I did, and some time after I joined they were let go.
Compass still has no accountability system for identifying bad interviewers.

Knight on a phone dial pad. It's a dynamic programming question.
Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. Acudí a una entrevista en Compass (Bellevue, WA)
Entrevista
Pretty chill. Three rounds of debugging, technical (leetcode), and behavioral, which was more like high-level with AI assistance. The values did not come up very much while going through the interview process.

Had us do an AI round about forms and matching things.
Debugging, technical, then behavioral. I had been given two language options for the debugging portion (Java or Python) during the phone interview then when I went to the onsite there seemed to be a miscommunication because the interview said I could use JS since I was applying as a frontend engineer. The debugging was pretty doable, the behavioral was odd but fine.
The interview process felt chaotic and poorly organized. What I was asked in the interview didn’t align with what HR told me to expect, and the interview started late. The lack of alignment between HR and the interviewer made it feel like the company overall may be chaotic. Afterward, HR’s follow-ups were generic and robotic, and the employer also mentioned layoffs, which added to the uncertainty. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the effort.
