In this series, I’ll talk about my experience interviewing at several well-known companies - Google, SWVL, Instabug, and companies in Europe 🇪🇸🇩🇪.

The reason I’m writing this series is to share my experience so we can learn from each other. At the start of my interviewing journey - and even now - there were a lot of things I didn’t know: how to answer well, how to present myself, what’s the right approach. I’m still learning. I used to wish there were people writing about or sharing what the interview process actually looks like at each company.

Not all of these interviews went well - but I took something away from every single one.

What I’ll try to do is write down all the steps and the questions I was asked. The exact dates aren’t pinned for technical reasons, but all of these happened in 2022.

Each company will get its own post, covering the full process from start to wherever I made it. Some companies I got through multiple rounds - like SWVL, Google, and Robusta. Others fewer. In every one I learned something and met really sharp people who gave me confidence and taught me a lot.

Everything I write is purely my personal experience. As of 2022, I had just graduated in June 2021 - so I was pretty fresh 😂. If anything’s wrong, I’d genuinely appreciate being told.

The kinds of things I’ll share in these posts:

  1. HR questions 🧗🏻‍♂️
  2. Technical questions - mobile, especially iOS 📱
  3. Behavioral questions 🤝
  4. How I worked on take-home tasks 🏎
  5. My attempts at studying data structures and algorithms 🏗
  6. Anything else that comes to mind
