Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland

February 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process: Pre-screener/take-home assignment, HR screener, technical screener, behavioral screener, on-site round of challenges and behavioral questions. It's pretty much like any big corp hiring process (even though it's not a big corp). HR asks to describe projects you have worked on, and background. In the technical screener they ask some challenges and to talk your thought process while solving them, they are interested in time/space complexity and give hints to solve them the way they expect, and then ask some behavioral questions.

Behavioral is pretty much about the "Amazon's Leadership Principles", they care a lot about customers and how you have improved their lives. Some of the questions are the same as the technical screener, and it may be better to answer the same in both, I made the mistake to give crappier answers in this instance and did not pass it. If I'd given the same answers, I think I'd have passed it.
