Process
The process involves a 1-hour technical interview, followed by a 4-5 hour onsite interview that includes a break.
Rather than typical LeetCode questions, the interviews focus on practical, real-world scenarios, which is a preference.
The recruiter was very helpful and provided feedback after both stages.
Questions
Technical interview: Design a card game. Then they keep adding new requirements.
Onsite interview:
- System design: Design Brex (basically how to do financial transactions).
- Coding: Fetch a list of data through an API and then return certain things from it.
- Values: Just a discussion about your background and resume.
- Debugging: Debug a codebase to pass some pytests.

Toxic and crooked
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 7, 2021
Pros: The pay was amazing, and the problems are big.
Cons: The company culture prides itself on being toxic, and they blame it on their fast-paced growth mindset. I asked a VP if they were worried about the churn happening, and they laughed at me. The best way to describe the toxicity at Brex is like high school petty drama. On my second week there, I received feedback that the team doesn't trust me and that I need to work on building trust. By week four, I was on a PIP for not moving fast enough (Hello, it's week four!). Within three months, it got so toxic that I stopped going to meetings, and they suggested it was time I resigned.
