Software Engineer - Back End Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
The interview process consisted of four steps:
- Phone screening with a recruiter.
- Technical phone interview with an engineering manager and an engineer.
- A one-week take-home coding assignment.
- An on-site interview session at the Amsterdam HQ, lasting five hours.
I unfortunately failed one of the on-site interviews, as I needed more practice with shared screen coding, which was a new experience for me. All the interviewers were very pleasant, and overall, the experience was great.
Two days after the on-site interview, I received a phone call from the recruiter. They provided feedback, explained the rejection, and suggested reapplying in six months.

Some messaging tools are buggy, and most conversations happen in email threads, which is not always the best way for communication, in my opinion. The "excitement" level of the tasks and projects depends very much on the team. From the other side, it is very typical for big companies like this.
