I applied online. I interviewed at Neo4j (London, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
My first stage interview was with Aisling and she is amazing! She made me feel very comfortable and she is very knowledgeable and loves to share all insights. She was very professional and her enthusiasm for the company made me want to be a part of the team. Once completing the coding assessment they take the time out to go through your code with you without judging and ways to improve the code. Once you have gone through those stages you have an interview with the hiring manager. His name was Fredrik and again he made me feel very comfortable and did not come across as intimidating. The entire interview process was more like an open chat and communicating the company goals and how you would like to progress and how that could work for both. I was really sad as I had already accepted an offer and was half way through the interview process with Neo4j else I would highly recommend Neo4j!

Interview
I did an interview in Oct 2025. the recruiter was helpful and explained the whole process!
after the recruiter call I had a call with 2 members of a team that i was interviwing for and they asked me questions related to my resume anf also a mini system design question to design an authorisation related component and asked questions regarding that! then it was the take home test. they asked to code in python or Go i think and since that was not my main pogramming language, when i submitted my result they said it's not a good code for a python project!
the process was good, but i think if they made it not language-specific it would be more professional!

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Neo4j (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
The process started with a call with Talent Acquisition, followed by a discussion with the Team Lead on my experience and familiarity with graph databases and related tech. I was then given a week for a take-home assignment in any tech stack, followed by a session to expand on the solution with live coding to add features.
The final rounds were behavioral interviews with the Hiring Manager and the VP of HR.
Overall, the interview process felt focused and purposeful. The team provided clarity around the day-to-day responsibilities and expectations, which was very helpful.
Sam supported me as the talent acquisition partner throughout. My first application for a team did not move forward, but Sam kept in touch and later connected me to another opportunity. He also helped me understand what to expect in each interview round and was very quick in providing feedback. I felt encouraged and supported throughout.
From my experience, the company seems to foster a fantastic corporate culture.
