      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Novanta

      Interview

      I had an initial interview with a very friendly HR representative, followed by a second interview with the hiring manager. Both conversations were pleasant and professional, and the overall process was straightforward. Two days after the second interview, I was informed that the company had decided to move forward with other candidates. I appreciated the prompt communication, although no feedback was provided regarding the decision. Some additional feedback or clearer expectations regarding the technical fit would have been helpful, but overall the process was efficient and respectful.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interviews focused mainly on my background, previous experience, and technical skills relevant to the role. The discussions were conversational rather than heavily focused on solving specific technical problems.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Novanta (Brno)

      Interview

      The interview process was largely centered around assessing attitude and prior experience. The technical questions presented were surprisingly straightforward, implying that the company prioritizes team dynamics over skill level alone. This left me with the impression that they place a strong emphasis on teamwork.

      Describe SOLID principles. How many lines of code should a function have?
