Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
The interview process was quite relaxed.
Initially, I had a phone interview with HR, followed by a technical phone interview with a team member. I also had a chat with the manager.
Eventually, I was invited for an in-person interview. I traveled from across the country to attend, and they were very understanding of my time.
Sadly, there were many applicants, so not everyone received a full and thorough screening.
HR was nice, and the technical test was written. I really enjoyed the interview process overall; I'd say it was the best I've ever had. I heard it was harder for others with a less-technical background; they were grilled more thoroughly than I was.
