      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly in Oct 2023

      Interview

      I was interviewed by Remitly through the outsourcing company, by people from Remitly. Overall the process looked like this: - Phone screening; - Video call with recruiter; - Then they gave me a link to the test, where I needed to answer a few technical questions. Overall it takes 1 hour. No pauses, retakes and stuff like this. - After I passed the test they scheduled the technical interview for 1.5 hours, which should have been the last step; Before the technical interview, the communication with the recruiter was great. Friendly, to the point, and up to date. The only problem was a HUGE delay from the Remitly in order to schedule next steps after I passed the test: - First I waited 1 week because of the holidays and Remitly's employee had, and no one could replace him; - Then 2 weeks more they could not organise the call. It was a time when Israel started the armed conflict. But why exactly they could not have a call they did not tell. I am located in Ukraine right now, so I think I can relate somehow to the situation. But 3 weeks with no specific reason for waiting, while everyone else (even some companies in Israel) was working, it is not understable for me. - Then they finally scheduled a technical call. There were 3 people. 1 backend developer (I was waiting for him 3 weeks to make this call), 1 team lead, 1 recruiter. The backend developer was absolutely not prepared for a call. He could not say a few words about the project and company, he said even less than was in the job description and the recruiter (non-technical) was able to provide more technical insides about the project than he was. The team lead was just muted at that point and did not add any info. The conversation itself was super rooky, with big awkward pauses from their side, and inconsistency in the information they provided. I was not asked about my experience at all. It was like 10 words from the job description I had 3 weeks ago and then "Okay, let's code now", literally. For 30-40 minutes we were coding, solving some leetcode style tasks. It was okay, but I got the feeling that the interviewer was struggling with English. Sometimes it was hard to understand him. My English is far from perfect either, I just compare it to my previous experience. Then I was asked 1 simple question, I could not answer it properly, I was nervous because the conversation for 50 minutes was not smooth at all, and could not come up with a clear answer. I communicated about it. The next thing that happened was they wrapped up the interview (we had 40 minutes more of booked time). I asked if they had any concerns, or what went wrong. They almost laughed in my face (the developer from the Remitly was literally covering his face with his arm). Then they said that everything was okay and that the recruiter would be back with the feedback.I tried to ask again some questions. They did not want to answer them. And the feedback was that they got a feeling I was using ChatGPT because I solved coding tasks, and could not answer a single question they managed to ask. Which is not true, and could have been communicated to me during the interview. What a waste of time because of the lack skills of in communication from the Remitly's developers side. At least this is the impression I got. It is always two sides, I am sure I was not perfect as well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - 4 open technical questions, -1 task with coding, -4 SQL queries, - and 1-minute video with the open question; - 30-40 minutes of life coding (sorting array in different ways with different algorithms, calculating the complexity and trying to reach the maximum efficiency) - During the interview after the coding part they asked 1 single question about JWT.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly (New Westminster, BC) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Recruiter schedules, cancels, reschedules, cancels again. It's a chaos to get an interview in this company. It took more than six weeks to finally talk to the recruiter for the first time. Same experience in scheduling a technical interview. Then they disappear. No feedback, no rejection.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Remitly

      Interview

      Typical interview process: screening with HM, 3 technical interviews, another screening with the HM. Overall it was okay, except for the interviews with the HM. For the first one, he was late and hadn't seem to have read my resume, needing to read it as the meeting started. For the second one, he asked all the same questions he had a week or so before. He seemed unengaged and was asking such highly specific questions about solving their specific technical problems that it made me wonder if the listing is even real at all, especially given how old it was. In either case, he didn't communicate what he was asking well and I was frustrated that it seemed like he didn't understand what I was saying. All the other interviewers were top notch and well prepared.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical STAR questions (which by the way, always expect a certain answer, which is why they are widely considered poor and outdated practice). Don't ask "tell me a time when X" when X is not a usual thing most people will have experienced. You'll just get lies as responses! And no, you won't be able to tell!
