Questions posées lors d’un entretien d’embauche pour Software Developer chez Butternut Box

The process is quite lengthy but I enjoyed it because it gave me time to communicate with many people at the company. Specifically, I spoke to most of the people I would be working with most closely so I would have some idea of them before joining the team. I wish more companies observed this practice. I first had a call with their internal recruiter. She explained what the company does and some of the expectations of my role. It was a really good discussion and flowed very easily. Following this I was asked to complete a tech test, which is standard fare for a tech role. The test was easy to understand the instructions were well-written but I'm not sure they followed best practice in the template of their implementation. I would not have written the code that way and was actually asked during my interviews why I had -- I showed the template I was given as an excuse! I then had a two-hour interview which was in three parts: 1) Coding exercise along a dev 2) Interview with the Head of People and my potential manager 3) Interview with two members of my potential team The coding exercise was fairly simple but the pressure of the experience got to me. Notably, however, I was never made to feel bad and the developer I was partnered with was very encouraging. The other two interviews were the usual interviews but with a really positive vibe, some thoughtful questions and a transparency that not many companies show to potential candidates. I was very impressed. Upon completion of this phase I had my final interview which was booked for an hour which was also a three-parter, again with two people I would directly be interfacing with and the company director. In truth, they didn't feel like interviews so much as conversations and I really enjoyed the process. I hold the people at BNB in high regard. At this stage an offer was made but I could not accept immediately. Following some very respectful negotiation I decided not to take the offer. However, I cannot be clearer, the people at BNB were incredibly respectful during an otherwise stressful time for us both. They are good people.

I visited the London HQ and sat down with the head of people and co founder Kevin to discuss the role on offer. I was also shown around the building's amenities and facilities.
