I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SoftwareOne (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2024
Interview
Screening then technical interview.
The first was with a senior engineering manager, the technical interview was with an architect and principal engineer.
The screening was the usual stuff. The tech section was a coding test and technical questions. The coding test was a bit too broad in scope for an interview

Question 1
Questions about clean architecture. What is was etc
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SoftwareOne in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview was supposed to be an hour but lasted 1.5 hours. Two interviewers asking questions, and I answered all of them well. However, one of them was rude, constantly interrupting me and seeming angry throughout. He was making up questions on the spot, often unclear, which made some difficult to answer. At one point, the interviewers even disagreed on a question, showing a lack of preparation. Despite demonstrating strong knowledge, the feedback mentioned communication issues, as I sometimes didn’t answer exactly what was asked—which makes sense, given that some questions were unclear.

Question 1
C#. And design questions, focused on architecture and scaling, for a senior position which I am sure a senior will not been architecting solutions
