Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Fever.
Backend Developer
The first interview was with a rather rough person, like they didn't want to do the interview. Then I went to a backend interview where it's expected they'd ask architecture concepts, but they asked very advanced stuff, and I was rejected even after answering 90%.
- How do lambdas scale?
- What is event-driven architecture?
- Tell me about concurrency.
Senior Backend Engineer
I went through the interview process for a senior backend position. It was a long process with multiple interviews, a technical test, and cultural fit interviews. I got an offer in the end. It was a remote position, like my last job. I was told the contract would be with the Madrid headquarters, also like my previous company. I wasn't told I'd have to pay for travel, stay, and onboarding, which should be covered by the company, including per diems. This is expensive, over 700 euros if you're not from Madrid. They didn't mention this contract type or costs during the interviews. Lawyers say this contract is illegal for remote work according to the BOE, as remote employees should have benefits and bonuses. I signed a pre-contract without this info. My old company was informed I was leaving. Seven days before starting, I got this information and had to decline because hiding information and this way of working is bad. I turned down other offers because of this. It's a bad start when a company hides info, and over 40 people are in this situation. If you value your work, don't join this company.
- Can you discuss typical system design questions?
- Please provide your thoughts on the technical test.
Backend Developer
You can tell they have a good work environment. The interviewers were very nice and focused on finding programmers who are very technical and focused on testing and good object-oriented programming practices.
- Very technical questions about the Python programming language
