      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      13 Mar 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Rapid7

      Interview

      First interview was essentially brief overview conducted by an HR representative. This was very light on information and they seemed mostly concerned with discussion of what alcohols were "on tap" in the office. A solid red flag to start! A technical interview followed which lasted around 1 hour and involved a pretty varied discussion around the questions regarding device drivers and networking. The interview panel consisted of 2 people, one of whom was both engaged and engaging while the other showed an alarming lack of interest throughout. Altogether it was a rather substandard and repellent experience.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rapid7 (Prague) in Sept 2024

      Interview

      I completed the first round with just the manager, who only asked some basic questions about my previous projects. Although I performed well, there’s been no further communication from the company. It feels quite unprofessional.
