I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Signifyd (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Feb 2023
Interview
Overall an excellent experience.
Interview process was prompt, there were three primary stages and each was very well explained to me.
I received a nice PDF before the first face to face interview explaining the interview process in full.
Clare was very prompt at responding to any questions I had and was very personable, she really made the whole process a breeze.
Two technical stages to the interview, the questions were actually interesting, a decent challenge but nothing too extreme for an interview. I felt that my previous day to day work experience prepared me well for the coding questions, nothing too awkward was asked. It was nice to be challenged all the same in the interview as it sets a standard for engineers at Signifyd which lends some confidence that if you receive an offer you’ll be working with great engineers (I can confirm this having now worked there).
Responses and feedback for each interview stage was prompt which helps a lot.
Interviewers did their best to make me feel comfortable during the interview and to nudge me in the right direction when I started discussing solutions which might be nice in prod but too long to do in an interview.
Overall very happy from start to finish with the process - thank you!
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Signifyd
Interview
Interview process consisted of a phone screening, a code challenge, and four hours of technical interviews for a remote position. The recruiter was very prompt with communication at all stages of the process and was a delight to interact with. The developers who conducted the technical interviews were all smart yet genuine and down to earth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical questions were all challenging in their own ways, but seemed to be indicative of things you'd face in a real working environment.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Signifyd (Remote, OR) in Apr 2019
Interview
I interviewed remotely for a remote position, in two rounds. First was a one hour technical interview, going over my resume, talking about work I'd done, and a "verify they can do a programming"-level problem I worked through on the call. The second round was a four hour block, three more technical interviews covering specific areas followed by a behavioral interview with my prospective manager.
I'm not happy calling it a behavioral interview, because that usually means incredibly stilted questions like "describe a time that you displayed leadership" and sometimes even coaching _from the company_ on how they want the questions answered. This was more discussing the work I'd done, what I thought about it, how I approach things, but focusing on the teamwork aspect rather than technical.
Overall, I was impressed. Out of five hours of interviews, I don't think there was a single question or problem posed to me that didn't make sense, or was difficult to see how it would matter for the position I was interviewing for. By the end of the process, I felt that I'd had a good opportunity to show what I was capable of, and that if Signifyd had decided not to make me an offer it would've been based on solid reasons, rather than...however hiring decisions are normally made.
P.S. I interviewed for infrastructure, not application development, and this was reflected in the questions I received.
