Product Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland

Process

I applied through LinkedIn for the first time but wasn't shortlisted. I applied through StackOverflow the second time almost a year later and got a callback.

  • The interview process was long and thorough, with a strong focus on writing code, culture contribution and product thinking
  • The first step is a take-home assignment that tests your programming skills and how comfortable you are in writing code
  • It is followed by a telephonic round, that tests your problem solving with a programming language of your choice, and culture contribution
  • I had another full round of culture contribution since there wasn't enough time in the first phone call.
  • If all goes well, you are called on-site - which packs a full day of interviews, from programming problems, problem-solving, product design and culture contribution.
  • I did not actually get an offer after the on-site since one of my rounds went totally sideways, which was a little disappointing since all my other rounds went pretty well

Fast forward 4 months ---->

  • I got a call back asking if I am still interested in the role (which I was)
  • They gave me a chance to give it another shot at the round that did not go well the first time, I was able to clear the second time
