Applied through Cision's website for the position of Senior Backend Engineer at Falcon.io. The whole process was long but it was at our own pace. We have a say on when we would like to interview with the company. The recruiter was very responsive throughout the process.
The interview process was long. Below are the notable points.
- Received email from recruiter on Jan 15, 2021, asking to select a slot for an introductory meeting.
- They collected information related to the resume, skillset and projects worked on.
- As a next step they scheduled a virtual interview with a Team Lead and an Engineering Manager based on our availabilty and their team's. I had the interview on Jan 20th, 2021.
- The interview went on for 1 hour, with a brief introduction about the role they are hiring for, their tech stack and a quick tour of the product, and then its all about the info listed in the resume.
- As the next step, they asked us to work on an assignment to build an application with 7 to 10 requirements. Time to deliver - 10 days. If unable to deliver on time, we can let the recruiter on an ETA. I received the assignment on Jan 20th, 2021.
- Once delivered, the team would review and will provide their feedback to the recruiter. I delivered the code on Feb 2nd, 2021, and the team gave their final feedback by Feb 10th, 2021.
- Based on the feedback, the recruiter scheduled the final interview with the Engineering Manager, the Tech Lead and the team members on Feb 16th, 2021.
- This was a design interview, and questions related to the implementation from the assignment, and general feedback on the implementation.
- On 17th Feb, 2021, had the final discussion with the recruiter and they extended the offer.
