Braze Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Check the comments about toxic culture and the interview process, because this company really fits that description. The interviewers have terrible people skills and ask puzzle-style questions for a senior role. I passed the first algorithm interview and was then scheduled for four more. The debugging interview was a complete joke and again focused on puzzle-style questions instead of real-world problems. The interviewers don’t help when you ask questions. They are only there to judge you and make the process harder. The culture seems like they are only looking for yes-men.

Applied to Braze via Indeed. The recruiter reached out by email to schedule an initial phone call, and their scheduling system made providing availability simple and intuitive. We spoke for about 20–30 minutes; the recruiter was friendly, helpful, and clearly explained the process, emphasizing the importance of preparing for the technical screen. The technical screen itself went smoothly, and scheduling the virtual on-site interviews was equally seamless. Although I didn’t prepare as thoroughly as I should have and one of the intensive sessions exposed some major deficiencies on my part, both interviewers were friendly, flexible, and encouraging throughout. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I appreciated having the chance to meet with real developers rather than relying on online assessments or timed GitHub challenges.
