Interviewed in March 2026 - process took around 2 weeks. Was broken up into 4 sections. 1. Quick call with internal recruiter (fairly standard HR screening) 2. Pair Programming Test 3. System Design Interview 4. Behavioural/Cultural interview. Overall, one of the most positive experiences I've had while interviewing, feedback is taken seriously and is given at every step of the process.

1st stage: quick call with People Engangement Manager 2nd stage: technical interview The 1st stage was just an informal quick phone call to gather info about background, experience etc. The 2nd stage was a 90 mins technical interview with 1 hour of theory questions and half an hour left for a pair programming exercise, but I terminated the interview right before entering the coding exercise per se. At the end of the theory questions we were ready to move on to the technical challange part, but I could see this was not going terribly but also not swimmingly, so I interrupted the interview. The guy was a bit surprised I chose to interrupt the process but didn't seem to mind ("fair enough"). Just before saying goodbye I still wanted to raise the point that there must be a discrepancy between such nit-picking theory-heavy interviews and the actual job in practice, since somehow I always perform very well at work, in companies that do hire me after making me do something like a home project but seem to struggle to come across well in academic-style interviews. Just a nonchalant comment I felt like making about a process I've just been part of, but the interviewer decided to respond with something like "you need to know how the language works at least", which was a bit patronizing towards someone like me who, I've made sure to let it be known, is somehow relied upon for a great deal of code contributions and delivers at least at the same level as the senior developers (my managers' words, not mine). I don't know how that'd be possible without "at least knowing the language". Unless I made a mistake and was actually interviewing for a CS college professor position.
