      Software Engineer Interview

      1 July 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Steno

      Interview

      A recruiter call, a "technical interview", followed by another "technical" interview with eng leadership, a take home project, and review. They recruiting team is super slow between interviews (4+ weeks). I actually forgot I was interviewing with them. (TBH I may actually still be in their interview loop I haven't gotten an official rejection yet). The recruiter mentioned how the hours are normal for remote except for staff level who need to be online more to answer questions for more junior devs 🚩. They have multiple interview loops that are just Javascript trivia. Even the director of eng was asking blanket JS trivia. - No product thinking, no system design 🚩

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are different design patterns? What response code do you send for [insert error reason]? What is the difference between express and nextJs?

      Thank you for the feedback. The speed and quality of the interview process is always top of mind for the Talent Acquisition team, as we aim to give every candidate a great experience. At Steno, we approach working hours by balancing scheduling flexibility, work-life balance, and team coverage. In our technical interviews, we use scenario-based questions to gauge experience and depth in the areas that matter most to us. We're committed to regularly evaluating our interview questions to ensure they remain fair, relevant, and grounded in real-world situations and we welcome candidate feedback as an important part of that process.
