      Software Engineer Interview

      17 Jul 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at CircleCI (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      CircleCI is a classic example of the employer you DO NOT want to spend your time interviewing with. Where do I begin? It starts with a recruiter chat to set expectations, right from the beginning, they prepare you for a long process. The first interview was with the hiring manager, I very clearly highlighted what I know and don't know. Good discussion overall. They moved forward with me. They then scheduled me for a technical coding interview with a third party company. The question they asked had absolutely nothing to do with the role or requirements, that was the first red flag. Following this interview, fast forward a month later, another interview with an SRE lead who asked questions on the same tech I highlighted I do not have experience with. 2nd red flag. 7 interviews later they then rejected me saying I don't have experience on the same technology I mentioned to them I do not have hands on experience in the first interview a month and a half earlier. Thanks for wasting my time. If you are so disconnected in the hiring process I can't even begin to imagine how big of a disaster CircleCI is outside of it.

      Software Engineer Interview

      10 Dec 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CircleCI (London, England) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The role was advertised as fully remote, but the interviewer indicated that the interview was over before it started due to CircleCI abandoning remote work as an option. I didn't get to even talk about myself before the bait & switch was revealed and the interview was over.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I know this was exclusively advertised as a remote work job, but would you consider moving abroad to work on-site only?
