Circle Internet Financial Software Engineer: CodeSignal, 5 to 7 hour take-home, and final interviews

Online AssessmentTake-home ProjectOtherHard

I went through a harder, test-heavy process for a Software Engineer role involving CodeSignal and longer take-home work. It ultimately didn't lead to an offer.

The online assessment was proctored through CodeSignal and consisted of timed questions. In one case, I had to complete it within a fixed window and received a rejection shortly afterward.

I also encountered take-home coding work described as unusually long, around 5 to 7 hours. That felt suspicious to me because it seemed like it could turn into unpaid effort.

One extended final stage included a timed coding step, a take-home assignment, and then several interviews to walk through my solution. I didn't move forward. The process demanded a substantial amount of time, and the payoff remained unclear.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
