I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Typeform (Barcelona) in May 2025
Interview
Overall very straightforward process. First round was an intro call with the recruiter followed by the technical round. Tech round was a real use case to create an app using AI. It was a big challenge to complete in 1.5 hours but it made it easy to show my actual day-to-day technical skills rather than memorizing leetcode answers. Third and fourth round were both behavioral calls with leadership and product. All the interviewers were friendly, open, and smart and made it a positive experience. Lots of transparency throughout the process as well.

Question 1
Why typeform? Can you give an example of a time where you needed to give feedback to a team member?

Primeras rondas de screening habituales. Prueba tecnica con ejercicios practicos similares al producto que desarrollan ellos, tipo pair programming, en un IDE online. Por ultimo hay entrevistas de culture fit.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Typeform in Jan 2020
Interview
- Chat with team leader on work organization, software best practices.
- Live coding with two software engineers: Three questions (logic of a React application, some CSS styling)
After that I was congratulated because the live coding was successful and I was asked for references for getting an offer. After a few days I've been contacted saying that the live coding was not actually successful and I wouldn't receive an offer.
I was told by the recruiter that the most important thing in the interview was to show that I could collaborate, listen to feedback, and work in TDD. I was told by the engineers that I shouldn't worry of solving all the three questions but rather focus on listening to their feedback and solve the problems in the proper way.
I received some vague oral feedback from a recruiter saying that I failed because I wasn't sure about how React worked and I had to search during the live coding to remind myself things, and I didn't complete the three exercises.
I can only imagine that another better or cheaper candidate came in later. Either way, it was very unprofessional to be told that I passed the interview and I would get an offer, and then withdraw what said.
In general, there were signs of disorganization in the process: some of my questions about the role remained unanswered and I was contacted about the same things by multiple people that didn't talk to each other.
