Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
The interview process involved a video call screening, an online test, and a series of on-site interviews with engineers and managers.
The technical questions were easy and not particularly probing. The manager repeatedly asked about my interest in management, which was not the role I applied for.
Afterwards, no feedback was given by the company, which is a red flag. My impression is that they have a very strict idea about what roles certain people should do, and that anyone over 30 should be aiming for management.
