I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

This will be my first time to rate an interview experience as I really need to shout out the recruiter is amazing, super supportive, responsive and reliable, you can strongly feel he wants to help you to succeed over the entire interview stages.

I interviewed in Sydney:

• 1st - 30 mins recruiter phone screen
• 2nd - 1hr project/behaviour interview with one eng manager and one lead eng -> take-home coding exercise building a simple application
• 3rd - 1.5hrs panel interview with two senior members to work through the coding exercise and asked some questions about your approaches and tech stacks
• Final - 1 hr interview w/ Engineering Director and a senior engineer (mostly the director asked the questions), a bit of project deep dive, architecture questions and brain-teasing questions at the end.

I truly enjoyed the entire interview process and people I met are all friendly in general to help you showcase yourself except the final stage with the director. He is good and smart I can tell and the questions he asked just kinda freeze you and you will get lost at some points because he will keep asking follow-up questions based on your answers, so if you aren't really knowing about the details of your answer then you will start feeling panic.

Anyway, I didn't get the offer at the end coz I didn't please the eng director but all the feedback I got from the other stages is super positive, it's kinda sucks they raised the bar at the final stage and you feel like all your hard work and preps just erased by one person.

Tell me about a project you worked on lately:

• Take me through how you worked on the project
• Make decisions for technologies
• What are the challenges
• How you solved it
• What you can do differently
