I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deel in June 2023
Interview
It was a great experience, the first step was with the recruiter, the next step was a code challenge, unfortunately I made a silly mistake, the sad part is that the mistake was not related to seniority but to the sequelize orm. But even so, the tech team responded with a list of PROS and CONS, which is really great and i apreciate. I was informed that i could reapply after 6 months.
Great to hear you had a positive experience in our interview process, we'll be keen to discuss other future opportunities and will use this feedback to continue improving our hiring processes. Thanks for sharing feedback with us
Other Senior Backend Engineer interview reviews for Deel
I applied online. I interviewed at Deel in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process felt highly unprofessional and disengaged.
The recruiter joined the meeting late for a morning interview and immediately mentioned being tired and exhausted before turning off the camera. The entire interview lasted around 8 minutes despite a scheduled 30-minute slot, including the time I spent asking my own questions.
There was very little effort to understand my background or technical experience, and the interaction felt more like a checkbox exercise than a genuine evaluation process. The interviewer appeared uninterested throughout the conversation, which created the impression that the interview was being conducted only for process formalities rather than active hiring.
As a candidate, I invest time preparing, researching the company, and attending interviews professionally. It’s reasonable to expect the same level of respect and engagement from the hiring side.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Deel in Aug 2025
Interview
I had 5 rounds interviews, a coding challenge, one technical, two behavioral interviews and just for my case I had one additional with my manager. Even though the process had a lot of interviews it was really fast, just taking 3 weeks from the start to when I recieve the offer, aditional to that somethin I like is they let you also meet the team so you know how is going to be working with them
