      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      27 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Belfast, Northern Ireland
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rapid7 (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in June 2021

      Interview

      Had a lovely chat with two HR ladies from Northern Ireland. I answered the first set of HR typical questions all good, they were great to talk to. Then we talk a bit about our lives and that so it was straight forward. I clarified i needed a visa beforehand and they said that was great all sortable. They sent a test challenge for me to do offline. I did it, passed it ok and sent it back. They answered me congratulating me for passing to the next round. Sent the details for two meetings on the same day, One for 1 hr 15 min and the 2nd for 45 min (one right after the other). They were technical and cultural fit interviews. Of course i had to ask for time off my current job to do them. I answered the questions ok without problems and had good instant feedback from the interviewers. They were nice. They said i will be hearing from them for the next round. Radio silence after that. I sent a follow up email 2 weeks after that, and not even a reply saying "sorry we went for someone else". Disappointed to not even have the decency of a simple email saying that, never mind any feedback. Hope you’re doing well! I wanted to follow up about the Senior Software Engineer role I've been interviewed for on 2 June. I really enjoyed both meetings (), and I’m still very interested in the opportunity. I’d love to know if there’s any further information I can provide during your hiring timelin

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rapid7 (Prague) in Sept 2024

      Interview

      I completed the first round with just the manager, who only asked some basic questions about my previous projects. Although I performed well, there’s been no further communication from the company. It feels quite unprofessional.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Rapid7

      Interview

      First interview was essentially brief overview conducted by an HR representative. This was very light on information and they seemed mostly concerned with discussion of what alcohols were "on tap" in the office. A solid red flag to start! A technical interview followed which lasted around 1 hour and involved a pretty varied discussion around the questions regarding device drivers and networking. The interview panel consisted of 2 people, one of whom was both engaged and engaging while the other showed an alarming lack of interest throughout. Altogether it was a rather substandard and repellent experience.
