Dojo Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It was a super relaxed chat, mostly about my past projects and teamwork. They didn't need much technical know-how, just that I could talk confidently about my experience. We ended up chatting and laughing a lot, and I asked them more questions than they asked me. Then, there was a simple online coding and reasoning test with a couple of riddles thrown in.

My interview experience at Dojo was super smooth and enjoyable. Things moved really fast; before I realized it, I had already gone from getting a message from Iwona, a recruiter there, to signing the job offer. I was given all the help and feedback I needed at each stage to get ready and do well. Depending on the department, the interviews might differ. For me, it was: 1. A 30-minute call with Iwona for screening. 2. A 1-hour chat with two team leads about my professional background. 3. A 1-hour behavioral interview with the Engineering and Lead Product Manager.

It started with a 30-minute recruiter screen. After that, there were two one-hour technical rounds with senior team members. They focused on practical problems they deal with at Dojo. The final round was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. The team seemed respectful, but there was noticeable tension among them in how they spoke to each other. When I asked questions about the company, which recently branched off from its parent company, they were often vague. The recruiter was the main issue, pushing for a lower salary than they actually offered, possibly influenced by the hiring team. They were also rude when I declined their offer due to the low compensation, though they were pleasant at the beginning. It felt like a waste of time to end up with a bad offer in this economy.
