SerpApi | https://serpapi.com | Junior to Senior Fullstack Engineer positions | Customer Success Engineer | Talent Acquisition Specialist | Based in Austin, TX but remote-first structure | Full-time | ONSITE or FULLY REMOTE | $150K - 180K a year 1099 for US or local avg + 20% for outside the US SerpApi is the leading API to scrape and parse search engine results. We deeply support Google, Google Maps, Google Images,…

I interviewed with SerpApi recently and feel compelled to share my experience.

The interview left me pretty frustrated. After multiple rounds and what felt like good conversations, I got a generic rejection with zero feedback. When I asked for some insight on what I could improve, I was basically told "we don't do that."

The process included a take-home assignment they claimed would take around 4 hours - which is a significant time investment, especially with no feedback afterward.

Additionally - I keep seeing these monthly HN posts (this is what, the third or fourth consecutive month?), which makes me wonder how serious they actually are about hiring. Are they really bringing people on, or just constantly fishing?

The remote-first setup and tech stack seemed cool, and I liked what I heard about the transparency values. But honestly, that transparency didn't extend to their hiring process at all.

If anyone from SerpApi is reading this - some actual feedback for candidates who invest their time with you would go a long way. Just my two cents for anyone considering applying.
