Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Easy but real-world problem solving stage and an interview with engineering manager, which lasted fifteen minutes - it looked like it was just a courtesy (to satisfy some internal policy requirement perhaps?) since the interviewer wasn’t really interested in anything I had to say. I received a rejection the day after, when asked for feedback I was ghosted
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project that you worked on
What good/bad feedback did you receive in the past year
He tenido una primera entrevista de toma de contacto y una entrevista de live coding. Ambas entrevistas han sido muy interesantes y sencillas. Los entrevistadores han sido muy amables. El único problema ha sido que en la entrevista de código sí que requieren experiencia “actual” en el lenguaje de la oferta. Como recomendación, si tienes una entrevista en un lenguaje que no estás usando actualmente, dedica una semana a hacer pruebas tipo leetcode en dicho lenguaje, para no tener que pensar en cómo invocar las funciones
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm (Madrid) in Jan 2026
Interview
During a recent technical interview, I was given a real-world coding challenge rather than a typical algorithmic problem. Although the role was for a Python developer, I had clarified that my background is primarily in Java, and the interviewer confirmed that was acceptable.
However, the feedback I received focused heavily on mistakes in my Python syntax and usage, which felt somewhat misaligned with the expectations discussed during the interview.
