      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HiBob in Jan 2025

      Interview

      I applied online. I had 1.5 hour interview on Zoom. The interviewers were fairly nice and explained to me about the company, the teams structure, and the tech stack. Then I had a coding question.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Need to implement a method for booking rooms.The goal is to ensure that room bookings are managed efficiently and preventing double bookings. I have this class: class MeetingRoom { String roomName; int capacity; MeetingRoom(String roomName, int capacity) { this.roomName = roomName; this.capacity = capacity; } } And then this class: class MeetingRoomFinder { private List meetingRooms; public MeetingRoomFinder(List meetingRooms) { this.meetingRooms = meetingRooms; } public Optional bookMeetingRoom(int numberOfPeople, LocalDate date) { return null; } } * Parameters: * The number of people, and date. * Returns: An optional meeting room that was booked if successful
      Answer question

      Question 2

      After that they asked my to translate the above code to db tables and do the logic of the findMeetingRoom() via sql query. After that we had a theoretical discussion about scenarios of recurring meetings and what should I add to the DB to properly handle meeting recurrences

      Interview

      I had only one technical interview. Recruiter call was ok, I didn't get any information about the live coding interview, just being told that it's going to be live code and design.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Meeting room question. to return all available meeting rooms by their capacity order. Then I've been told to write an SQL to get the same result.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HiBob in Jan 2026

      Interview

      They start with the question of implementing the MeetingRoom code, that is mention in prev comments here. The follow-up discussion was about handling recurring events (daily, weekly, etc) in a database design context. I suggested using a recurrence table with frequency metadata, which is a scalable and maintainable engineering approach. However, the interviewers seemed to prefer a naive solution that stores each event instance separately. They struggled to understand my solution and why its needed, which made me question their familiarity with scalable data design and engineering best practices. If you are looking for a place with low standards - this is your place

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      MeetingRoom.java public class MeetingRoom { int capacity; String roomName; } and MeetingRoomFinder.java import java.time.LocalDate; import java.util.List; import java.util.Optional; public class MeetingRoomFinder { public List meetingRooms; public MeetingRoomFinder(List meetingRooms) { this.meetingRooms = meetingRooms; } public Optional bookMeetingRoom(LocalDate date, int numOfPeople) { //implement this part } }

      Thank you for taking the time to share your interview feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our technical interviews are designed to explore problem-solving approaches, trade-offs, and communication, rather than to assess a single “correct” solution. Different approaches can be valid depending on context, constraints, and assumptions, and part of the discussion is intended to surface how candidates explain and reason about those decisions collaboratively. That said, it’s important to us that candidates feel heard and that technical conversations are constructive and respectful. Your feedback suggests that this wasn’t your experience, and we take that seriously. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you success in your future opportunities.
