Senior Fullstack Software Engineer Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks.
Super typical SWE process:
- Screening call with a recruiter
- One phone screen with a 3rd party company (may or may not be your experience, seems they are piloting this)
- Virtual onsite with three interviews (coding, system design, behavioral)
Questions
Talk us through a project at a previous company, how you made trade-offs, etc.

Pros: Headway is a genuinely fun place to work, and a lot of that comes from the people. Engineers are heavily invested in building a good product and are quick to help. The company has a strong mission, which makes work feel meaningful.
Cons: There are still some startup growing pains. Priorities can shift suddenly, which sometimes means changing direction mid-project. Depending on how you like to work, that's either exciting or frustrating. It keeps things moving, but it can be hard to plan around.
