Dayforce Fullstack Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

This was the first interview, it was just a quick chat to talk about my background and experience, figure out when I could start, ask why I'm looking to leave my current job, and discuss salary expectations. It was only 20 minutes long, and they told me right after that I'd be moving on to the next round where they'd ask technical questions.

I had a group interview with three people where we looked at some code on StackBlitz that was either not working or incorrect. The interviewers weren't really sure what they wanted to ask and made up scenarios about the code. But these scenarios didn't have enough detail or a full use case, so it was hard to give good answers. They'd ask random questions and then follow up with a 'what if' that had nothing to do with the original code. Like, they showed a simple lambda for updating user data and then suddenly asked, 'What if I had six containers with lambdas like this?' even though containers were never mentioned. The questions felt random and disconnected. The interview was messy because it was hard to answer without knowing what the code was supposed to do, which only they knew. The technical part was okay, but it was clear the interviewers weren't ready. This was with the MX team. They didn't seem to have the skills for good interviews. I'd tell the MX team to prepare better and maybe hire someone experienced for interviews. I decided to stop after the second part. It made me wonder how they handle project management if interviews are this disorganized and unclear.

i had a pre-call screening with HR which lasted for 1 hour. Then, a first technical interview with a software developer who seemed less experienced than me, also lasting 1 hour. Following that, a second technical round that was supposed to be 2 hours with two senior developers. However, they cut it short to 30 minutes because their manager was on leave, and they said I'd have a managerial round the next week. I thought I did really well, answering almost all questions and impressing the interviewers, but they didn't select me. The worst part is they didn't even send a rejection email after wasting my time; I had to email HR multiple times just to get a regret email saying I lacked strong skills. I'm not even sure what they were looking for.
