Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Madrid, Spain

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I started the process with an online assessment, which included a mix of data structures and algorithm problems—things like arrays, hash maps, and string manipulation.

After passing that, I moved on to a technical task. This was a live coding session, often referred to as a "shadow programming" interview. In this round, I had to solve real-time problems while thinking out loud and collaborating with the interviewer.

The final stage was the system design interview, where I was asked to design a scalable system from scratch. I explained my architectural decisions, trade-offs, and how I’d handle things like load balancing, caching, and database schema.
