      Senior Backend Engineer Interview

      Aug 3, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hubs in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Hubs Tech recruiter reached out to me via direct message on LinkedIn. I initially couldn't respond because I was on holiday, but she followed up and this time I was quick to reply. I wasn't looking for a change in career, but I felt that I would regret not responding; it's not like I had anything to lose. Within 24 hours of LinkedIn contact I had the first interview with the recruiter to discuss my current experience, role that I would be applying for and what it's like to work at Hubs. This part of the process moved swiftly - initial communications were prompt, typically within hours or overnight, and the first screening and followup interviews were scheduled quickly. Upon completion of first 2 interviews I was sent a code assignment. I appreciated the clarity and transparency that was provided to me during the interviews. Great communication, prompt replies, kindness and empathy did really stand out during the process. My application wasn’t successful but I would recommend HUBS any given day.

      Application

      I interviewed at Hubs (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      The interview consisted of 3 steps: a talk to HR, a technical task and a CEO interview, with a 3 to 4 day periods between the interviews. The first one was pretty straightforward, the HR lady told me about the company and asked several technical questions, obviously to figure out if I understood the subject at all. The second part was a simple technical task to check generic programming and database design skills with a time limitation, my guess is that it was meant to check if I was able to consider the time limit and not strive for an ideal solution. This part seemed to have gone fine. Then, according to the schedule agreed earlier upon, a third interview with lead engineers should have followed. However, because of them having been occupied with the release, the last interview with CEO was re-scheduled instead. The third interview was something I still have a mixed feeling about. The CEO, a very experienced person, had first introduced himself and told about his more than impressive experience over more than a considerable time. Then, we were mostly talking about near-technical things and life in general. We've discussed my background, my current work. Some of the questions were really smart, e.g. what are you going to learn during the next year. Then, in several days I've received a cancellation notice with a reasoning of the company looking for someone with a more senior experience for this position, which was the end of communication. And -- that was probably something I would call a negative point because.. well, I realize that there are indirect indicators that let one more or less understand someone's technical level but honestly I had a hard time figuring out what I had said so wrong I wasn't even let do the technical interview. I mean, the wording "more senior experience" would mean to me that one had at least inspected my "seniority" in technical terms. Saying "no" without even taking a look at what I am capable of appears kind of.. odd to me. However, the company is driving quite an advanced route and surely has a right to say "no". And of coarse there are experts better than me around. I still think 3D Hubs is a good place to work at and is worth at least trying. Interaction with the HR department was quick and pleasant.
