Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mexico City, Mexico

Process

I applied online. The process took three months.

It started with a phone call with a recruiter, including general questions about past experience and your typical first-call things. After this, I was asked to do a code challenge to deliver within ten days. The challenge was fun, and I included tests and some good documentation with examples.

The next step was an on-site interview in Mexico City that consisted of three parts:

  • The first was an architecture interview where I was asked to design a scalable system for a problem presented.
  • The second interview was a cultural and behavioral round with detailed questions about past experiences.
  • The last step was a pair programming session where I worked on the code I submitted initially. I was asked to add more features. I asked if I could add tests to my code while doing the feature, and the interviewer seemed pleased.

I felt very good during the interview. At first I was nervous, but everyone is super friendly. The interviews are not set up to put you on the spot like usual tech companies do. After my on-site interview, I heard back from them in a week. They asked me to learn Clojure and to complete a challenge using Clojure. I did it in two weeks. After not hearing from them in two weeks, I sent an email. They said they were still reviewing my code, but I ended up taking another offer. I was really looking forward to joining the company, but the slow process really turned me down.
