Senior Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Paris, France

April 29, 2023

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took two weeks.

There were four rounds of interviews:

HR interview.
One offline skill test lasting 45 to 75 minutes.
A skill test code review of 30 minutes, followed by an onsite Kata test of 60 minutes with two engineers.
A final interview with two engineering managers.

I did my interview in 2018. I passed the first three interviews. During the final interview, I tried to challenge the monolith architecture. They thought that I was not convinced, and I probably was not aligned with their tech values.

Questions

The feeling about monolith architecture. Align with company values.

Nice place to learn and grow

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: People: You get to work with amazing colleagues. Salary: I would say it is above avarage, as long as you can negotiate. In addition, if you perform good you get raises and bonuses. Office: Pretty cool and central office Domain: You get to work on improving health care professional’s lives Responsibility: Lots of opportunities to build soft skills as no matter your level, you are expected to lead projects. Work life balance is pretty decent, it of course depends on you.

Cons: Dev environment is suuuuper slow, I would say the developer experience is quite poor. However, there are great efforts in place to fix this. Depending on your preferences I would say the tech stack. Ruby on Rails is not the top wanted skill in the market. However, in the frontend Typescript and React are used.
