I applied online. I interviewed at Fleetio (Birmingham, AL) in Apr 2021
Interview
I sent my application, they got in contact with me and started the process.
The first step was a 30 min call with the hiring manager and an engineer, not that technical, but some Rails and Development questions.
After that i received an email with a take-home assignment, they even paid me for that. I completed the assignment and they scheduled another call for a code walkthrough with a panel of engineers. That went well and the feedback was mostly positive.
The last part was a call with the CEO and CTO, mostly cultural interview and details on the offer.
At the end i ended up declining the offer because i got another offer that worked better for me, but Fleetio looks like an awesome company.
Thank you for taking the time to go through our interview process. Candidate experience is so important to us, and although this role was not something you ultimately accepted, we're so glad you had a positive experience.
Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Fleetio
The hiring manager interview was quite sporadic. Instead of asking about specific experiences listed on my resume, it felt like a general get-through-all-the-questions quiz, with very sporadic questions where it felt like I was repeating answers again and again. I had no hopes for this one and just used it for practice because I had already seen that the position has been open for 3 months and is remote across the US, Canada, and Mexico. It's pretty clear that their interviewing process is just flawed or they're looking for some unicorn.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fleetio (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process began with a recruiter discussion followed by a behavioral interview with the engineering director. Both conversations went really well and I had a chance to discuss my experience with key technologies that Fleetio was hoping to adopt in this role.
The third round was a take home interview that was meant to take 6-8 hours. It will be suggested that you will get a follow up interview where you can discuss your design decisions but I wasn't awarded this opportunity.
For the take home project, they will pay you for this time but you will need clairvoyance to get passed the nit picky code review. My advice is to write a lot of comments and thoroughly review the style of the code that currently exists in the project before beginning so that you can mimic it.

The project was to build an integration with their API in a Ruby on Rails project they provide a skeleton for. There are about 7 different features and bug fixes they want you to implement.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fleetio (Ciudad de Mexico)
Interview
Few meetings everything was well structured, and explained, and the coding challenge was a masterpiece, focused more on the work on a daily basis instead of an algorithmic coding challenge
