4 stages
HR Session - 30 minutes
Who you are. Job alignment. Reason for hiring and projects. Some mild tech questions about scale + throughput + sharding data and requests.
2nd round: Meet the manager, basically the same as the previous interview but more in depth. Nice to meet a manager early though
3rd round: System design. The recruiters are clear the engineering culture is high here and this interview is tough. Design an initial system similar to handling the stock flow. Then expand.
4th (I think final?): Live coding. Sort of LeetCode but less generic, key value pair question is what I got, TDD. No api stuff.
I didn’t make it at the end, but the feedback was fair. Very nice people, high bar for Software
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Stake (Sydney) en juil. 2025
Entretien
Their talent team conducted an initial call with me, asked about my background and previous experience and organised an "tech" interview with a Head Engineer and an Engineering Manager,
In the "tech" interview, they didn't ask me any technical question at all but the same questions that the recruiter had already asked me as if they didn't get the briefing from their own recruiter nor had my resume in front them. I didn't know if I should say something differently from what I'd already said to their recruiter or repeat myself of the high level intros of my previous jobs.
The intent of the interview was not the same as what they told me which was really confusing.
I got rejected, asked them for any feedback, none was provided.
