Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
In general, the interview process was very standard.
First Round: 30-minute phone interview with the hiring manager. Second Round: HackerRank coding tests. Third Round: Zoom interview with the hiring manager and some engineers. This round included two live coding questions.
Behavioral and culture fit questions with an Engineering Director. Behavioral and culture fit questions with the CTO. Behavioral and culture fit questions with a bar raiser.
I declined the final interview as I had received offers from other companies.
Compared to startups in Silicon Valley, the coding interview was pretty simple and straightforward, requiring only very basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms.
In summary, the company focused more on behavioral and culture fit skills rather than a candidate's technical skills.
