      Senior Software Engineer (Go) Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Form3 in Apr 2020

      Interview

      First I had a call with a member of the talent team which started as a pleasant chat, answering questions about myself and asking some about the company. After which I received a take home exam, develop a client for one of their API resources. The exam is not limited, but it was stated that it should take about 8 hours. The exam was pretty straight forward, and I managed to complete it within a couple of hours, since I have a lot of Go experience, and I have written an API client or two before. The exam also demanded to have the tests for the client written, which I wrote, unit tests and integration tests against a provided mocked API. The exam also demanded the tests to be executed inside a docker container, which was also a non-issue for me since I have experience with this as well. After about a week I was informed that I have passed the exam and I have moved on to the next round of interviews where I would talk with 3 engineers. With the first engineer we would go through my exam, discuss some of my decisions taken in the client and tests. Next up was a quick quiz about TCP, HTTP, security etc., and the final part was a debugging exercise, where you are presented with an infrastructure schematic and an issue, and you need to talk through how you would identify and solve the issue. After those interviews I received a call that I passed and that I would receive an offer, which I did a couple of days later. If you have experience with Go, docker, and with writing APIs you should not have much problems with the interviews.

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Form3 (Buenos Aires) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      It was a pretty straightforward process. One screening interview, a take home exercise, and a technical interview. The technical interview has different levels of complexity, from discussing the exercise implementation to infrastructure decisions.

      Application

      I interviewed at Form3

      Interview

      An exemplary recruitment process: - Well-organized / structured: 1. Call with a recruiter; 2. Offline coding exercise; 3. 3 30-min slots (within 1.5 hour block) of interviews with engineering team members. - All candidates feel welcome, also technology/language-agnostic OOP-oriented engineers: no hard requirement to have golang background. - Friendly, pressure-free environment: the candidate is encouraged to learn golang at their own pace before attempting the exercise. Talent acquisition team keep in touch to enquire about the progress and see if the candidate is still interested in the role but without creating an artificial pressure or enforcing strict timelines. - Relevant to the role: As a coding exercise, the candidate is asked to develop an http client library to integrate with the flagship product of Form3 - a few sample endpoints of the payment API. As part of the interview with the engineering team, the candidate has an opportunity to understand the Form3 architecture, design a real-life distributed system, debug a simulated production issue in the Form3 systems as a role-playing game. - Prompt post-interview feedback (48 hours).

      Senior Software Engineer (Go) Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Form3 (London, England) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      I had a very good meeting during screening call. The guy even shared a tips for the home exercise. I had to spent 5 days to write the code with developing the client library, unit testing, integration testing, makefile, setting dockerfile and so on. After 4 days, i received the feedback and its really annoying clarification from the panels (who ever you are). It seems they are Gen-Y(who always complain and not really look into the implementation code). The comments from them are only focus on configuration, not able to run the code(even i tried download it from different machine and run it without an issue). Cry baby !! i felt like the whole comments is just not relevant. You guys need to be more matured and maybe ask more senior guys to involve in the process. To management : you guys really need to see all of the comments from the bad response. You are having a DIVA type of developers review our code
