Fiksu Interview Questions
& Process

Super positive experience! Had two rounds where I met with 4 people in each. They had a recent re-org so there was a bit of confusion about who I would report to. In the first round, I got a case study with math/analytical questions and had to share my findings. What really stood out was how organized everyone was – they all had my resume and asked really smart questions, which was refreshing. I asked some direct questions about their IPO and past hiring and they were really open about it. I didn't take the job because I got a better offer elsewhere, but I'd definitely recommend this company to friends. Everyone's friendly and smart. Great company!

Applied online and HR got back to me next day. Had HR screening interview (Skype) within a week. Pretty typical questions, plus a quick skills test (CTR calc). Next, 2nd round with London team (Skype), more about my current role. Spoke with my potential manager and another team member. Got asked the 'unlimited time/resources' question again. 3rd round with Boston team was brutal, about 2.5 hours talking to 3 people separately, mostly IQ/Intelligence questions. Asked the 'unlimited time/resources' question again! Their answer to 'why Fiksu' was disappointing - 'we are dominating the world, we are the best'. Followed up twice for an answer, ended up being a rejection. Interesting experience!

I put in my application on their website and they got back to me via email about a week later to set up a phone screen. I chatted with the HR rep a few days after that. She asked me to go over my current job, how my experience fits what this role needs, and why I'm wanting to move on from my current place. Then she asked about software I've used in the past and now. She mentioned they're really looking for someone who's great with Excel, saying some advanced features are essential for this job. She said she'd send my details to the hiring manager, but the very next day, I got an email saying they were going with other candidates.

Got reached out by a recruiter through a friend at the company who passed along my resume. They set up a phone chat with a developer, and I was asked a question about tree traversal. A few days later, I got an email to come in for an on-site interview, which consisted of three 45-minute technical interviews back-to-back with different developers. It felt pretty chill and the questions weren't too tough, so I felt good about it. Then the recruiter emailed again saying they were rethinking their intern program and I should check back in about a month. I didn't follow up because I got another offer, but it was kind of annoying and felt like a waste of time since they weren't sure if they were even hiring interns.
