Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland

September 26, 2025

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process began with an HR screen call, followed by a HackerRank coding challenge.

Overall, it was a pretty standard non-LeetCode exercise that could be solved by not overthinking it.

The HR screen call was also pretty standard. They were primarily looking to understand what you are seeking and to share some basic information about the role.

I ended up withdrawing from the process after the HR screen due to receiving another offer.

Questions

Basic string parsing and manipulation.
