Senior Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Colombia
Process
I had 5 rounds of interviews, a coding challenge, one technical interview, and two behavioral interviews. Just for my case, I had one additional interview with my manager.
Even though the process had a lot of interviews, it was really fast, taking only 3 weeks from the start to when I received the offer. Additionally, something I liked is that they let you also meet the team, so you know how it's going to be working with them.
Questions
I had a lot of questions, but I would say for the technical ones, they asked senior-level questions about Node, PostgreSQL, and how I could optimize a database query.
