Typeform Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was quite straightforward. It started with an introductory call with a recruiter. After that, there was a technical round where I had to build an app using AI based on a real-world scenario. It was a tough challenge to finish within 1.5 hours, but it was a good way to showcase my actual daily technical skills instead of just leetcode knowledge. The third and fourth rounds were both behavioral interviews with leadership and product managers. Everyone I met was friendly, open, and intelligent, making it a positive experience. They were also very transparent throughout the entire process.

Started with a chat with the team leader about how they organize work and their software best practices. Then there was a live coding session with two software engineers where I was given three questions to solve (logic of a React application, some CSS styling). I was told I did well and that an offer was coming, but then a few days later, they changed their minds and said the live coding wasn't successful and no offer would be made. The recruiter told me the most important part was showing collaboration, listening to feedback, and TDD, and the engineers said not to worry about finishing all questions but to focus on feedback and the right way to solve them. The recruiter gave some vague feedback that I wasn't sure about React, had to look things up, and didn't finish the exercises. It felt unprofessional to be told I passed and then have the offer rescinded, maybe they found someone better/cheaper. The whole process seemed disorganized, with unanswered questions about the role and multiple people contacting me about the same things without coordination.

I applied online using their website's form, which was pretty long. Got an automated reply instantly, but then HR reached out about 3 weeks later to schedule a 30-minute video call. This call happened another two weeks after that, so about 5 weeks total from applying. Turns out, the interview wasn't even for the job I applied for; they'd already removed the Senior Software Engineer role from their site. The interview felt rushed because they asked a lot of questions in a short time, and they'd cut me off if I tried to elaborate. Maybe they weren't that interested or were testing questions for a different role? When it was my turn to ask questions, someone interrupted, and they had to end the interview abruptly. The next day, they said they weren't moving forward with my application. Honestly, I didn't want to continue either, since the position wasn't what I applied for, and the interview didn't leave a good impression.
