Software Engineer interview at HP SCDS: bilingual and multi-person rounds

The first conversation felt personable and dynamic rather than rigid. It was short and split between English and Catalan/Castellano. We discussed my experience, goals, ambitions, and how my story fit the company and role, without the sense that anyone was trying to trap me.

Another sequence began with HR, then a peer screen, an in-person peer round, and an in-person manager round. The in-person meetings included several people and initially felt intimidating, but the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I did not receive an offer, yet I felt listened to and thought the process valued fit and communication alongside technical answers.

Location: Sant Cugat del Vallès. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
