Hexagon Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty quick, going from screening to a panel interview really fast. I really liked the team I met, and that was the main thing that made me want the job. But, the stuff after the offer was rough. After I got a verbal offer, they told me the role was paused because of organizational changes. When I asked for updates, they just ghosted me. This really messed me up because I turned down other interviews after getting that verbal offer and loving the team, and I was about to quit my job. Their lack of communication not only wasted my time but also made me burn bridges with other companies and almost left me jobless.

So, basically, after you apply, they'll give your application a look, then there's a quick phone chat. After that, the first real interview happens, then a test to see if you've got the skills. Then you'll face a group of interviewers, and they'll ask you stuff about how you handle situations. They also check if you'd be a good fit for the company culture. If all goes well, you'll get to talk about the salary and stuff, and then they decide if they want to offer you the job.

So at Hexagon, the first thing they did was really dig into my resume, looking for actual projects, clear results, and how I presented my tech stack. Then there was a technical interview that pretty much covered all of full-stack, but they really honed in on backend stuff like Spring Boot, designing APIs, using Jenkins and Docker for CI/CD, and writing unit tests with Mockito. They also threw in some Leetcode-style problems to see how I'd approach them and if I could explain my thinking clearly. After that, the behavioral part was all about ownership, teamwork, and how I handle problems in real life, like when I told them about setting up CI/CD from scratch to cut down on urgent fixes. Basically, Hexagon seems to want engineers who are practical, focused on making an impact, and can totally own their systems from start to finish.

My interview experience was pretty unique, so don't expect this to be typical. The initial recruiter chat went super well, so much so that I was invited to speak with the hiring team within a week. It was a joint interview with two Marketing team members, and I felt I nailed it. The next interview was set for the following week. This is where things took a turn. I was feeling a bit off, maybe due to the heat in NY, and about two questions into our video call, I actually fainted. It was the first time this has ever happened to me. I came to about 5 seconds later, finding the interviewers quite surprised. I requested to reschedule and ended the call. After a week of sending apology notes and follow-up messages, the recruiter informed me that we weren't moving forward, citing a mismatch in what they're looking for in the role. It's a bummer the outcome wasn't different, but health issues do crop up. I had hoped the company might be understanding and offer another chance.
