I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Backbase in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview process for me was consist in 4 stages:
- Interview with Recruiter
- Code challenge
- Interview with engineers
- Interview with managers
Interview with Recruiter:
General questions about career and experience.
Code challenge:
7 days to develop a REST API game in Java with good practices and tests.
The challenge is not easy but not hard as well, I believe they are more focused on the design, quality and architectural decisions.
Interview with engineers:
Questions about the code challenge, performance, technology, professional experience and way of working. Nothing too hard like Big Techs interviews.
Interview with managers:
Again questions about professional experience and way of working and a overview about the company sector you are about to work.
Conclusion:
I liked the interview process, focused on experience, personal profile and the technical challenge that seems to be appropriate for the job description.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Kraków) in Mar 2023
Interview
First there was a call with an HR person. Next step was the interview with a manager. It was a short one, but very professional and to the point. The main focus was on how I would potentially fit the team and what are the specifics of the company and the Polish office. Finally there was a technical interview. First questions were more soft-skills ones, then a technical part that was mostly reviewing or completing existing code with additional questions. The interviewer was very friendly with a helpful approach.
