Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Beast Code.
Software Engineer
The interview process started with a phone screening which included a 'tell me about yourself' question and some technical questions. This was followed by an in-person interview that lasted about two hours, covering general questions and a white board coding exercise. Ultimately, I received an offer for an Intern position. Although the pay was good for an intern, I had applied for a Software Engineer II role and was hoping for at least a Software Engineer I position. They mentioned that after three months, the role could potentially become SE1, but I suspect they're using this intern program to evaluate candidates and retain the best performers, which makes sense.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- Could you answer some questions about data structures?
Software Engineer
I had my interview in a conference room, and it was with the CEO, COO, and a bunch of senior engineers. They asked me about my experience and career goals, and they also made time for me to ask them questions. We did some whiteboard coding, and the problems were related to the work they do at the company.
- Can you implement a Fibonacci sequence on the whiteboard?
Software Engineer
They get back to you fast, trying to fill headcount. You can apply for one thing, but they might put you in another role you didn't apply for, with more duties. It feels like a family business, maybe too much so. Don't be fooled by the nice presentation.
- The interview was straightforward and conversational.
- There were two rounds in total.
- An offer was extended soon after the interviews.
