      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zywave in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Overall it was a very pleasant and productive interviewing experience. It started with your standard HR phone screen, which we actually had to reschedule because the HR person was called away on an emergency. They were very apologetic and professional, and that professionalism carried through the rest of the process. I was also a little worried because previous reviews had mentioned those personality and IQ tests that were all the rage in tech for a while... not necessarily because I was worried about passing, but because I don't think they're a great way to assess a candidate's ability to do their actual day-to-day job. This appears to have been dropped in recent years, which to me says that the company is willing to amend their hiring practices and adapt to industry best practices. Green flag. There were three rounds of interviews after the initial screen: an initial technical screen, a leadership/personality fit call, and a final, more in-depth technical interview. There were two engineers in each, and they were all very pleasant to talk to. The last interview was way more tech-heavy, but it was more of "how would you..." questions, not the rote memorization or abstract theory that you get a lot of the time. I also appreciated that while the engineer interviewing me was working on a different tech stack, they had one from the team I'd be working on there as well to help with questions and subjects specific to our stack. Overall, seems like they have their stuff together, and it was a really good process.
