monday Software Engineer interview: feedback through system design

After a recruiter call, I went into a coding interview where I did only limited coding and spent much of the time explaining my reasoning. The process moved step by step, and the recruiter followed up with feedback after that stage. That feedback helped me understand what they were looking for.

monday Software Engineer interview: notification coding rounds

monday Account Executive interview: scheduling and stalled follow-up

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.
