I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SoftCo (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2026
Interview
Approached by a recruiter.
R1: screening call
R2: online interview
Final Round: in-person interview.
I felt good about the company and opportunity after the initial screening call but as the rounds went I began to feel uneasy about their motivations and expectations.
Some of the questions were oddnin terms of very unique scenarios that clearly have happened with previous employees and wanted to know how I'd react. A lot of questions around how'd you react to a managers feedback and how I take feedback. Clearly there were wrong answers and I didn't want to stumble ober these. Felt I was giving answers to please them rather than honest answers. Very little questionimg about ability to do the role. Weird vibe and experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you take on feedback?
What is your current manager like?
Do you give your manager feedback?
Screen interview was fine and HR seemed keen, but 2nd round was very poor interview experience with rude CMO. Constantly interrupted me and poor interview, irrelevant questions and focused on anything negative. If this was my experience in an interview, I can only imagine how it is like to work with them.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SoftCo (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Mar 2021
Interview
I was contacted by HR through linkedin and I had initial phone screening. After that, I was told to send my updated CV and after that it just went into silence even though I asked 2 times about it. Its quite unprofessional to not respond messages and just ghost people. This is professional business and you can't treat people like this.
