J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Talabat (Dubaï) en nov. 2025
Entretien
Omit HR call because it is a random and depends on a person.
I did not till the end know what team they want to match me in and that frustrate a lot
1) I was asked extensively upon my previous experience and practice oriented questions like how write a good quality code etc.
2) Coding - TDD kata. Be ready to elaborate on each step in details
3) System design - hard part. Looks like downgrade attempt as it works like in a bigtech(but fellows are not), you may be given a random question. Learn Uber or delivery design with focus on proximity part and all about geo data
4) Engineering fit: not classic one. CTO started to ask precise dates of work at past positions and what services directly I owned(for SWE-2 not even senior position). There were no classic STAR questions at all. It was over pretty fast without any feedback
