Agoda Software Engineer interview with screen-shared JavaScript coding

After speaking with a recruiter, I moved to a hands-on technical stage where I shared my screen. The exercise resembled a common LeetCode format and was not tied to one programming language. I used JavaScript even though the role leaned more toward Java. The developer running the session was approachable and supportive, so it felt more collaborative than competitive.

I left with a positive impression, even though the task called for deeper algorithmic preparation than I had. The HR part was relaxed and focused on my experience, working with others, teamwork, and company culture. I did not feel cornered, even when the technical challenge was demanding.

Location: Bangkok. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
