Brex Software Engineer interview with debugging and high pressure system design

I went through a recruiter call and then several technical rounds. The whole process felt hostile and disrespectful of my time. Even when the interviewers were outwardly neutral, I didn't feel much respect for the effort involved in sitting through multiple steps. The hardest part was that I never got clear feedback about why I was rejected, so I was left guessing where things went wrong. The tec…

Brex Account Executive interview: timed prospecting and discovery role-play

I went through a recruiter screen first, followed by conversations with managers and a panel-style component. The process felt fairly standard for sales, with a clear sequence from one step to the next. The recruiting team communicated well, and the overall tone was professional. The people I spoke with were generally nice. The more intense part was the live sales work. I completed a timed, scena…

Brex Software Engineer interview delayed for months before I took another offer

My process stretched on for months and felt completely disorganized. The recruiter sometimes couldn't get a response from the hiring team for more than a week, so I was left waiting without any real momentum. The interview steps never lined up cleanly because of the delays. What I remember most is the lack of updates and the way the timeline kept slipping. By the time anything finally moved, I'd…

Brex Software Engineer interview: recruiter call under 15 minutes

I applied and quickly received an invitation for a screening call, so the timeline moved fast. The process ended with a rejection shortly afterward, although the screening itself was fairly standard. The recruiter call lasted under 15 minutes. We went through the usual prompts: telling me about myself, describing a project or complex feature I had worked on, and explaining how I approached it. Th…

Brex Software Engineer 50-minute React filter challenge

My process centered on a single coding challenge with a very specific setup. I had to build a filter with toggles using data from a JSON file. The task involved React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and the 50-minute time limit made it feel tight to finish. The challenge was tricky because the UI behavior had to be correct while I wired everything quickly enough to reach a working state before time r…

Brex Account Executive interview with mock cold-call rounds

My process with Brex didn’t feel smooth, even though it started in a fairly normal way. I went through the usual early screening setup, but the scheduling and follow-through immediately gave me a strange feeling. One calendar invite was outside the availability I’d provided. When I asked questions beforehand, they were mostly brushed off. On the day of the interview, the interviewer was late and…

Brex Frontend Engineer interview with interrupted live coding

I started with an interview that felt straightforward and respectful, and the recruiter seemed involved and supportive. Then I moved into a technical coding interview where the interviewer repeatedly required me to talk while coding. I found that counterproductive. The constant interruptions made it easy to lose focus and added anxiety to an already stressful live coding environment. I was trying…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
