Senior Backend Engineer Interview

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Close in Aug 2024

Interview

Extremely clear process, spelled out in the first email: Tech screening, HR call, take home, tech interview, 2 more interviews with director/VP. Everyone I met was very nice, left time for questions, etc. Tech screening was easy. I didn't make it past the take home, which was pretty simple but I guess didn't meet their criteria.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Screening: Simple questions every dev should know and a mock code review.

Interview

Applied online. Application had a few open ended technical questions and asked about why I was interested in the position. Was given phone screen with a few technical questions and a hypothetical code review. Received a decline email the next day. I was surprised to get an immediate reject since I felt I had done ok.

Interview

Several interviews, spanning peers, people ops and managers including both fit and technical interviews. There were exercises, but they were short and relevant. The interviews were scheduled pretty rapidly, and the overall process was quick.
