      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Munich, Bavaria
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Firebolt (Munich, Bavaria)

      Interview

      Very straightforward hiring process. There was a coding interview with leetcode-like questions, but focused on databases. Then a "systems" interview, focusing more on database internals. Last a coffee chat with the site lead discussing my motivation and how I approach work, etc. The feedback between rounds came in pretty quick and I was always well-informed on which step I was

      I interviewed at Firebolt (Kirkland, WA)

      Interview

      Extremely lengthy, with multiple rounds with the teams, the leadership and very hard to negotiate when it comes to salary. Felt very repetitive although the questions were not so difficult. Also be aware of the company culture

      Software Engineer Interview

      18 Sept 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Firebolt in Sept 2023

      Interview

      1) Recruiter Screen: 2) Coding Interview: During the coding screen you are forced to guess the system requirements. So it's essentially a hybrid systems and coding interview which I haven't seen before. I found it to be tacky.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Coding question: Design a restaurant system. Lots of datetime math.
