“My interview process started with a CodeSignal GCF online assessment that had four sections with increasing difficulty. The earlier sections were more straightforward and focused on implementation speed and correctness, while the later sections required more problem-solving depth and handling more complex constraints under time pressure. After that, I had a technical interview consisting of two LeetCode-style medium questions in a 45-minute session. The focus was on both arriving at efficient solutions and clearly communicating my thought process while working through each problem. What went well was my ability to understand the problems quickly and stay consistent across different difficulty levels. What didn’t go as well was pacing, especially in balancing correctness and optimization within the time limits. ”

“> My interview process with Temenos consisted of multiple rounds, including discussions on Core Java, Spring Boot, microservices, system design, databases, and my previous experience in banking and enterprise software projects. The interviewers were knowledgeable and focused on understanding both technical depth and problem-solving approach. What went well was the detailed discussion around real-world projects, architecture decisions, and domain experience. One challenging aspect was the depth of some technical and design questions, which required a strong understanding of system architecture and trade-offs. Overall, the process was professional, structured, and relevant to the role. ”

“The recruiter was great. The process went by quite quickly, and they were quite flexible with the scheduling. Overall, I'd say the interview process itself was not the most difficult, and definitely work through all of the materials that the recruiter shares with you beforehand. ”

“The process was pretty straightforward. However, the technical round was a frontend system design instead of a live coding round, which I was promised. I was caught off guard, but it worked out. For the finals, there were total of 5 rounds, 2 cultural and 3 technical. Two coding rounds among the technical rounds and an opinionated round where you discuss your opinions on different parts of engineering decisions, such as styling, state management, and so on.”
