Software Engineer Interview Experience - Paris, France
Process
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. He was very nice the whole time and checked in regularly. He gave me some time and allowed me to pause the process when I needed to for personal reasons.
The process was:
- Technical interview with presentation on past experience
- Homework
- Virtual onsite with technical interview, systems design, and hiring manager
- Team match
The process was long, but I felt it was very nice nonetheless. Generally speaking, the difficulty of the problems was reasonable, which made the length of the process worthwhile, as you don't feel like they're wasting your time.
