Remitly Software Engineer interview with a high-frequency banking prompt
My first step was an early technical prompt that was much broader than I expected for an initial stage. I had to build something like a high-frequency banking system from scratch, which meant thinking beyond one algorithm and covering the moving parts end to end. It was comprehensive, but once I broke the problem down, I could see a way through it. The next round was a live interview with behavio…

Remitly Software Engineer interview with a six-week scheduling delay
Recruiter coordination set the tone for me. It took more than six weeks to make initial contact, and the interview timeline kept getting canceled, rescheduled, and then disappearing again. Even after I completed a recruiter screen, the next steps didn't move smoothly. I had to chase updates, and eventually the process went quiet. There wasn't much clarity about what happened after the early techn…

Remitly Software Engineer online technical screening
After a recruiter call, I had an online technical screening split between getting to know me and solving a problem. It wasn’t a simple "here’s the pattern" LeetCode exercise, and it didn’t feel realistic to finish in a tight window without running into gaps. I spent a lot of time making sure I understood what was being asked and what passing behavior should look like. The coding round wasn’t just…

Remitly Staff AI-Native Engineer Interview Experience — An AI-Assisted Transfer Price Comparison Prototype
This team is looking for an AI-native engineer whose main responsibility is making various internal processes and tools AI-driven. They started interviewing with AI coding last quarter. You need to set up your own AI environment and share your screen. The AI coding interview mainly evaluates how you use AI, so the problem itself is usually not very hard. This one was considered one of the more co…

A Render phone-screen report describes an incident-response exercise framed around an API denial-of-service scenario. The candidate receives three log files and must identify the five source IP addresses responsible for the most requests across the collection. A follow-up asks how to limit request rates. The supplied examples mix HTTP request records with background-job and other service messages…

Renesas Software Engineer Interview Experience: HirePro assessment and LRU cache
I took a HirePro online assessment that was structured and time-boxed. It began with multiple-choice questions on operating systems, DBMS, and firmware-related material. There was also a small coding section with two questions tied to articulation points, and I discussed my project details during the process. After that, I got more DSA-focused questions about cache memory. The main task was imple…

Renesas Software Engineer Interview Experience: Seniority mismatch after two rounds
I went through two rounds with Renesas, including an L2 technical interview. The conversations were professional, and the interviewers seemed knowledgeable. The discussion matched what I had presented, and I did not see a major red flag during the interviews. Nearly two weeks after the L2 round, I was told that my experience did not align because the role was for a more senior candidate. What bot…

Renesas Software Engineer Interview Experience: Written offer did not match salary discussion
I expected a straightforward mid-level process, but the company suggested a staff-level title. It sounded flattering at first, but also made me uneasy because the numbers did not seem to leave much room later. Several interviewers had poor connectivity. Their audio dropped constantly, I could not hear the full questions, and no one suggested a phone call or a reschedule. I had to guess what was b…

Reply Software Engineer English-language onsite interview experience
The process began with an HR phone call and continued with a video call. After that, I was invited on site for a technical interview and a more personal conversation. All communication and interviews were in English. The sequence was simple and orderly. I did not receive an offer, but I came away with a clear sense of the format and what later stages would involve. Location: Brüssel. Overall feed…

Reply Software Engineer Interview Experience: React, Python, and LLM integration
I applied online and later had a technical interview for a full-stack role. The position centered on React and Python, with AI work and LLM integration. The discussion was clearly aimed at understanding how I would work with modern components and model-related use cases. I felt reasonably aligned with the topics, but I did not get an offer. My final impression was that the interview stayed tied t…

Research Analyst interview at International Enterprise Organisation: interview experience
After a recruiter-style first chat, I had an online interview that was genuinely pleasant. The interviewer kept the exchange moving with quick back-and-forth questions, but it never felt like a grilling. It was a friendly conversation, with follow-ups about my past experience and expertise that seemed intended to understand how I had actually worked. The pace and responsiveness stood out. The que…

Research Scientist interview at Scientific Research
I started with a recruiter screen after submitting my CV, then moved into a stage involving group leadership. There were two main stages separated by a few weeks, so the overall timeline felt longer even though the steps themselves were not overly complicated. The first was an HR-style check of my fit. The second involved two hiring managers and scenario questions. That was the frustrating part:…

Research Scientist interview at Thermo Fisher Scientific
After applying, I had a recruiter screen and then a stage with a group leader and a senior. It felt like a standard research-role check of fit and background before the team-specific work. Soon after, I met virtually with a manager and a line manager at the client site, then moved to an onsite panel with a large group from different sections. That onsite lasted roughly four hours and felt like a…

Resmed Software Engineer interview: a month of waits and multi-level conversations
The process stretched over about a month, and long waits set the pace more than the interviews themselves. After applying, I had HR screening and was supposed to connect twice, but the first meeting did not happen as scheduled. A couple of weeks later, I interviewed with the hiring manager and a senior engineer. The conversations mixed technical and softer questions tied to my resume and past exp…

Resmed Software Engineer Interview Experience: Retakes before the manager conversation
My interview process was short and straightforward. After the initial step, I had two video rounds: one allowed me to record and retry as needed, and another was an in-person conversation with my reporting manager. Both conversations were grounded in my resume and prior experience. They also looked at my willingness to learn and whether my technical ability matched the role. The first format allo…

Resmed Software Engineer interview: practical transferable-experience discussion
I had a direct interview with the department manager and another representative. It was essentially one session, balanced between technical discussion and softer-skill questions. They connected their questions to the experience I had listed, using it to understand how I would apply similar thinking on the job. The tone was practical rather than theoretical, as if they were evaluating how transfer…

Resmed Software Engineer interview: unexpected Java and full-stack questions
My first technical round was supposed to be focused on data structures and algorithms, but it did not match that expectation once it began. Instead, the questions leaned strongly toward Java and full-stack topics. I was asked how to create scope in Java, what proxies are, and how to explain a multiton pattern with an example. The interviewer came across as rude, which made the round more stressfu…

Restaurant Brands International Business Analyst interview: data and project decisions
I went through a conventional process with several rounds. Some questions were specific to Restaurant Brands International, while others asked me to go deeper on my background. Early on, they wanted to know how I had used data and organized work in past projects. I was asked to describe one of the hardest projects I had handled, how I used data to get to the result I wanted, and the tools I used…

Retell AI Software Engineer Interview Experience — Phone Screen, Four Onsite Rounds, and a Founder Who Muted Himself
Their HR seems to be outsourced to some third party — they were actually pretty enthusiastic though. Phone screen: coding. Onsite: four rounds. Round 1 was practical coding, I don't even remember what exactly it was anymore. They allowed using AI for code gen. Round 2 was also practical coding, the problem was pretty long and I don't remember the details either. All I remember is that you had to…

Retell New Grad Software Engineer Interview Experience — Six-Day Workweek Question and a Two-Level Flight Search OA
I mass-applied about a month ago, got an update a week ago, and dragged my feet on the OA until the deadline before I finally did it. Recruiter interview: right off the bat they asked whether I could accept working six days a week, then it was just some basic questions (project, tech stack, trade-offs). OA: Not hard overall, but there's a lot of text, so you have to actually read it. Implement a…

Retell Software Engineer Interview Experience — Coding a Stack Interpreter in Vim Without AI
A startup that works on voice AI. The first interview was handwritten Python. I used my own IDE and environment, and any AI or AI suggestion was prohibited. At the time, I did not know how to turn off AI inline suggestions in VS Code, so I had no choice but to write everything in Vim. Problem description The problem was to process a string containing numbers and operators. It included +, -, , /,…

Revolut Account Executive interview experience
The recruiter screen felt rigid and nearly scripted. It was not unfriendly, and I appreciated receiving guidance about the next steps, but it came across as robotic and straightforward. The hiring-manager stage was stressful because the format differed from what I had been told. In addition to the assessment I expected, I was given extra tasks connected to companies I had researched. That cut int…

Revolut Account Executive interview: pitch preparation and a disengaged manager
The interview was quick and easy to follow. I started with a pleasant, engaged recruiter conversation and then spoke with a sales manager. It was a practical, concise sequence rather than a long process. For the sales-manager discussion, I prepared a pitch in advance, delivered it, and had time to ask questions. We covered my background and how I approached the role. Although the interview was no…

Revolut Data Analyst Interview Experience — A Brutal Four-Question SQL Round
The recruiter call was pretty standard — they asked why I wanted to apply to Revolut, about my past experience, and then talked about how they're moving their headquarters to the UAE now, so a lot of the roles are on mainland Europe, not many in the UK. It depends on your interview results — they sponsor visas for senior and above, etc. SQL Interview Questions The SQL was actually pretty hard — f…
