      Software Developer Interview

      Oct 31, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bucharest, Bucuresti
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TryHackMe (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      After the HR interview, I didn’t receive any follow-up email. During the interview, I felt like the person I spoke with was in a hurry and not genuinely interested in the interview. It felt like they were just conducting the interview for the sake of formality, which was quite unpleasant. So overall, my impression is negative.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Nov 27, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at TryHackMe in Nov 2025

      Interview

      The initial stage with the recruiter and Head of Engineering was positive. However, the live coding interview felt misaligned with what we discussed earlier. I had mentioned upfront that my background is in different technologies than their MongoDB/Express stack, but the 1-hour live coding round shifted after about 15 minutes into questioning on those technologies. The interview ended up focusing heavily on topics I had already stated I didn’t have direct experience with, and many of the questions were things any engineer would normally look up quickly. This made it feel less like an evaluation of real-world engineering ability and more like a trivia test. For future candidates, it might help to either: • keep the live coding portion intact instead for longer than 15 minutes of the hour, or • offer a take-home and use the interview as a code review.

      Question 1

      Whats the difference between PUT and PATCH? Is multiple collections a good structure for MongoDB?

      Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear the live coding stage felt misaligned, especially after you’d already been open about your experience with that particular stack. It’s good to hear the initial conversations with our TA team and Head of Engineering were positive, though I appreciate that doesn’t make up for the rest of the experience. On the live coding format, we used to actually run take-homes, but feedback at the time from candidates was that they preferred a live session instead, so we moved in that direction. That said, your feedback here is really helpful. We absolutely want these interviews to reflect real engineering ability, not feel like a trivia exercise and we’ll be feeding this back to the Engineering team to review how we structure and balance that stage. Thanks again for the honest feedback, and best of luck with your Engineering career.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TryHackMe in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Standard interview process. The interviewers were more interested in their own skills and showcasing themselves. Very bad interviewers and bad culture. I had to drive the interview, would not recommend interviewing here.
