GitLab Interview Experiences
Staff Engineer
A recruiter reached out and asked if I'd be interested in a role. After a few back-and-forth emails, I sent a resume and was sent some questions to answer. I answered the questions and a couple of days later received an offer to start the interview
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.
