      Software Engineer Interview

      May 13, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snowplow (London, England) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Really good process, no long delays and friendly honest conversation in both directions. They clearly care a lot about bringing in good people who are going to grow and scale with the company long term. Really impressed by leadership people I spoke to. - Initial phone call with talent team (30min) - Take-home technical challenge to build an app that uses the product in an interesting way (4-6hrs) - Technical interview with VPE and tech lead, including discussion of solution (above) and general discussion of technical experience and interests (1hr) - Culture/values interview with head of people (30min) - Final interview with cofounder (1hr)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Quite a few culture questions, including probing at diversity awareness, and leadership-type qualities. Examples: - What's a time you had a difficult situation and how'd you turn it around? - What's a time you persuaded your superiors to make a change, and how?

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Snowplow in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I had a few interviews: - the first one was with a co-founder. It was actually more like a discussion rather than interview, which is very nice and low stress. We had discussed where Snowplow has been and wants to go and it was about the same for me. It was a very human interview with a solid discussion. - The second interview was with the other dev of the team. It was a 1h30 long interview with a live pair coding session. I was sent the task upfront and I could decide whether I wanted to work on it before the interview or not. I had decided to prepare for it. It was a great interview. We started with a general chat, then talked about technology things. Those questions were not about bullsh*t detail things that you can just simply ask google or algorithmic tasks, it was much broader about software, programming, infrastructure... Then, there was the live pair coding session. I would select a task from the test and implement it. I do understand that some people are getting very stressed about this kind of interview and that it can lead to a silence of death. Though, don't stress, nothing is perfect and in one hour, it is sometimes not possible to reach completion. The most important is to explain what you are going to do, why, how, debate some choices or alternatives... This is what you are going to be judged upon. In the end, I really liked this technical interview because I could see who the other team member is, how he thinks, how we interact, if we connect... This is in my opinion something that is clearly overlooked by candidates. The synergy and social aspect of team working is truly important, possibly more than the future tasks in themselves. I then had a last chat with the same co-founder I had spoken to. We again talked about many things and dealt with paperwork.
