Dixa Interview Questions
& Process

This was a really bad interview experience. Super disrespectful and discriminatory, one of the worst I've had anywhere. You should treat candidates better and stop wasting our time if you have better people. You claim transparency is a core value, but there was none here. Your behavior totally aligns with the bad Glassdoor reviews, and it's why you're failing and will keep failing. The interviewers didn't ask good questions and there's no standard way to evaluate everyone, so you don't give useful feedback. The interviewers and talent acquisition kept stringing me along, wasting my time and my colleagues' time with so many interviews, case studies, reference checks, and fake promises. Big shoutout to the London talent acquisition team for disrespecting candidates' time, asking for commitments, then ghosting us, being totally apathetic, and refusing to give any feedback after all the interviews. You need to rethink your talent acquisition approach.

It started with a recruiter call that was supposed to be quick but ended up being 40-45 minutes long, which was good because I got feedback before meeting the hiring manager. The second interview felt pretty chill, like a good chat, and then a few days later they called to say I was a strong candidate, but they didn't have the setup to train someone new to the role. It's a bummer because they really should have mentioned that upfront before I even had my first call. Overall, it was an okay experience because the recruiter was really apologetic and nice about it all.

The process started with a Zoom call with a Talent Attraction representative where we talked about my expectations, motivation, and some personality questions. Then, I had a second Zoom interview with the VP of Finance, which was a bit more technical and related to the role but not super specific. After that, I did a personality test and had to work on a case study with three potential scenarios before the third interview. The third interview was also on Zoom, with the CFO, VP of Finance, and Finance Controller, and it was pretty technical, focusing on the case study. It lasted about an hour. Not long after, maybe 3-4 days, I got the offer. We finalized the offer details in a day or two, and I signed the contract about a week later. The whole thing took about a month and a half from the first contact to signing. I thought it was difficult because of the SaaS-specific metrics and questions, which could be tricky if you haven't worked in SaaS before, but it was average difficulty for me otherwise.

The interview process had several parts: a first chat with the engineering manager to see if we'd vibe, then a programming assignment where I had to build a basic backend service with a REST API (this took a few hours to a day depending on how familiar I was with the tech). After that, we talked about the assignment, covering design and code. Then I met with future colleagues (tech lead and product manager) to discuss my experience and what I'd be doing. There was also a 30-minute online personality test to see where I'd fit best. I got feedback on that after accepting the offer. The whole thing from start to finish took 3 weeks.
