Pebl Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Everyone was super nice. I usually got a response within a week after each interview. First, a quick zoom call, no video. They asked about my salary expectations, past experiences, etc. Then, a behavioral interview. After that, a coding interview. Then, a second coding interview. Finally, a congratulatory call to discuss the offer. The coding interviews were pretty fair. Nothing too crazy like inverted binary trees. They seemed more interested in my thought process and problem-solving skills, and I was even allowed to Google things.

First there was a Woven assessment which had 3 parts: debugging, coding, and code review. Then, I was sent for an onsite interview. Recruiter mentioned that it could be anywhere from 2-4 interviews. The onsite included a behavioural/leadership interview with about 5-6 questions, a standard system design interview, and a technical interview. The technical interview had a very open ended question which required a lot of probing to understand the solution. My interviewer was not engaged at all, and did not respond to my questions or just gave one word answers. They seemed to be multitasking during the interview. This resulted in me not solving the technical challenge. After the interview, I asked about the company and the interviewer struggled to say anything positive about it or their experience working there. I got a really negative vibe from the interviewers onsite. They were cold, distant, and seemed like they had better things to do. I was rejected, but I would have declined an offer anyway based on the onsite experience.

It started with a recruiter screen, though the recruiter didn't seem very knowledgeable. Next was the hiring manager chat, which finished 15 minutes early. Then there was a poorly worded woven assessment. The onsite was really short: one system design interview, one coding interview, and one 'behavioral' interview that mostly focused on project details, lasting about 30 minutes. It might be good practice for other interviews, I guess. I wouldn't have joined anyway because no one made an effort to 'sell' the company.
