First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at XP Inc..
Senior Software Engineer
The interview has 5 stages: recruiter, HR, technical, Manager, and Partner. After the fourth stage, they said I'd need to wait for the partner's schedule, but that I would be contacted. This contact never happened, and the rejection email was terrible. It said I wasn't qualified, even though I had certificates and proved my qualifications in the technical interview.
- Why are you suitable for this position?
Software Engineer
This was definitely one of the best hiring processes I've been through. The process was extremely humanized, and I felt heard in all 4 interview stages. The interviewers showed great interest in my background and challenges, and my time was valued and respected. I had an interview with HR, one with two managers, a technical interview with a senior developer and a manager, and a cultural fit interview with a 'bar raiser,' who is an XP partner. The whole process took about a month.
- Could you share some of your background story?
- In what ways would you start a scalable React project without using create-react-app?
- Can a micro frontend application be built with Vite? If yes, how?
Software Engineer
The process was really cool, everyone was super attentive and made me feel really comfortable sharing my experiences and asking questions. I applied for one role and was contacted on LinkedIn a few days later for another, so I had already done the online tests. After those tests, I had an interview with HR/Recruiter. Then, I received a technical test and had a few days to complete it. Once I submitted it, they scheduled a technical interview with the team lead and some team members. Following the technical interview, I had an interview with one of the XP partners, and finally, I had an Offer meeting.
- Why did you decide to apply to XP?
- During the technical interview, how important is it to explain your choices?
- Describe a disagreement you had with a colleague and how you handled it.
