Just wanted to share my subpar experience as an interviewee at Fig. The initial phone screen consisted of a series of around 7 lightning fast questions on React basics (this was for a typescript role) followed by a basic leetcode question all in 15min.
I was then presented with a take home which was to make a minimal clone of https://explainshell.com/ using the Fig API. Needless to say this task was not only overly time consuming but it was extremely disrespectful to receive a reply over a month (!) after I submitted the task. They cited that my submission was “lost” while moving to a new system. If their management of new hires is this poor I shudder to think of what their internal management is like. Awesome product can’t say the same about the team though.
