Senior L3 Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
The interviewer contacted me through LinkedIn. I saw an opportunity to grow more within a Fintech company and hence opted for it.
1st Round: An online coding test with two questions on JSON object processing. The tasks were similar to categorizing similar transactions and getting a balance by category within a period, with rich unit test cases.
2nd Round: A tech discussion on a given sample product. I was asked about how I would solve new requirements, scale, monitoring, and deployments. (45 minutes)
3rd Round: Behavioural tests. I was asked to share different kinds of experiences and how I reacted to them. I kept my answers as real as possible and was frank, stating I had no such experiences rather than faking them. Sadly, this part did not go as well as they expected.
4th Round: A logical skill test. I did very well in that. There were 15 questions and 20 minutes to solve them.
