Software Engineer Interview Experience - New Zealand
Process
I had an initial screening with a recruiter, followed by a coding challenge round with an engineer, and then a four-hour, back-to-back interview.
Most interviews were technical, with one being behavioral.
I'd say the difficulty level was medium. It was definitely not as hard as some other companies, but being prepared is beneficial.
The interviewing team was very friendly and pleasant to work through the problems with.
