Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
The interviews were actually a dialogue rather than an exam. This fact alone was a game-changer—instead of being interrogated, I was actually involved in a discussion. Rather than being wrong or right about a specific topic, it was a collaborative discussion: sharing experiences and building upon them, rather than just cutting the other party off. The entire hiring process took about a week, from the initial interview to the offer.
