Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Houston, Texas
Process
I interviewed with Circle in September 2022. The interview process included:
-
A CodeSignal online general online assessment that was 70 mins and had four questions.
-
A recruiter phone screen discussing details of the onsite.
-
A virtual onsite including 3 rounds.
It was quite hard for new grads without any working experience to prepare for system design.

Circle Work Experiences
- 5.0Fantastic place to work!Senior Site Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, IrelandMay 17, 2024Pros: - Fantastic culture with the SRE organisation - Working on really interesting technologies - Great compensation - Unlimited PTOCons: I was not compensated for unsocial hours on call.
- 1.0Blame CultureSoftware Engineer Se1 • Former EmployeeBoston, MassachusettsOctober 4, 2024Pros: We have Macs, Slack, smart coworkers, and a cool space.Cons: Bad culture focused on blame and with no direction. Never really broke the startup culture and now super bogged down by bad systems. No raises, common PIPs, no communication beyond assigning more work. Issues never taken seriously until something breaks. Lots of work to make this company workable again IMO. Varies by team but writing in on the wall.
- 1.0They treat employee badlySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, MassachusettsJune 24, 2024Pros: Almost none of the candidates were hired because they don't treat people well and I didn't feel respected.Cons: RSU clawback clause so you don't get anything even if it's time-vested. Rescinded offer then came back with a worse offer a week later. Dead innovation and moves slowly Pay is not competitive and they try to sell you the potential of the IPO. Good luck with that.
