Software Engineer Platform Services Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
I got an invite for an interview from one of the developer from the company.
I scheduled the interview in the following week.
It was a 30 min Coderpad exercise.
He directly started with the exercise, no discussion about the role or in general.
I solved the problem, described the algorithm and coded it.
It went well.
But after that when the problem is done, he simply told that the role is no longer available.
But since you had scheduled the interview, we have conducted this round !
What a waste of time !
Stay away from these people!
When I was finally asked them about their product, he simple given me vague answers !
Really waste of time !
I would not recommend it to anyone !
Questions
CoderPad exercise:
Simple use of HashMap and list, nothing great !

I’ve had the chance to take on new challenges, build different skills, and work with people who bring a range of experience.Cons: Working here is very draining. The pace and expectations often leave me feeling exhausted, with little time to recover or feel proud of what I’ve accomplished. I would like to see the company set clearer priorities, manage workloads more realistically, and take employee well-being seriously.
