GitLab Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Pretty straightforward interview, which is on their handbook. Initial screening, then reviewing a merge request. Technical was with the hiring manager, which is a mix of technical and behavioral. Practice more STAR format questions for this stage.
Frontend Developer
The interview began with an HR round where I was asked about my previous experiences, my motivation for joining GitLab, and an example of a time when I demonstrated creativity in solving a problem.
Software Engineer
It wasn’t a great process; lack of coordination. Sets up interviews without knowing the role has been filled or not. The interview was cancelled a few minutes before the actual call.
