Process
PREFACE: The interview process for each role (front-end, back-end, mobile) is very different. I completed the interview for the mobile role.
- Take-home assignment: The recruiter mentioned it would take approximately 4 hours, but it took me around 10 hours since I wanted to perform well on it.
If you did well on the assignment, you moved on to three on-site interviews that included the following:
- A technical deep dive on a hard technical problem you've solved or a complex system you architected.
- Pair programming based on an extension of the take-home project.
- A values interview where you discussed your work experience and career plans.

Pros: I feel truly enabled as an engineer working at Brex. The transparency, honesty, and support I get from a team of high-calibre engineers is something that is very hard to find. It's one of the best decisions I've made for my career, as I know I will have the learning opportunity to grow and create impact for Brex.
Cons: The interviewing process was arduous, especially the take-home exam. However, I'd take it any day over Leetcode questions. They really care about how you code and how you got to the solution, rather than if you can invert a BST.
