Nice People but Weird Process
Overall fine, with some weird vibes. Feel free to go through it yourself just be wary throughout. Interviewing is a two-way street.
You get a Hackerrank test about flight schedules. Everybody asks Hackerrank questions these days so I put up with it.
Then I have a call with a person as a behavioral interview. Nice enough guy.
Have a second call.
Then they send me another tech screen which has to do with sockets. I personally have not touched sockets since college and most developers I know haven't either. That's fine, Peak6 can ask whatever they want but the difference with these questions and Hackerrank is that everybody asks Hackerrank questions and nobody asks sockets questions, at least not in my neck of the woods. So I bow out. Keep that in mind if you don't want to do sockets questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Budapest) in Apr 2026
Interview
There are many rounds, I completed the coding homework and then they gosted me
HR interview - about 10-20 minutes
Manager Interview (local office) - 30 minutes, basic introductions and motivations;
Coding homework (Hackerrank) - 1.5 hours;
------ next stages were only described to me, because after I sent back the homework, they never contacted me, even though I cleared all the tests and finished in 50 minutes instead of 90 minutes. ------
Manager interview - global side - about 30 minutes;
offline interview afternoon in the office, which contains: coding again in front of others for 1.5 hours, 30 minutes design test, and other manager interview for 30 minutes
Had an initial call with a director , discussed some high level tech and experience, second stage was live coding challenge where you shared your screen and worked through a problem
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
questions on bits of tech that i had used, coding challenge didnt go as well as i expected
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PEAK6 in Sep 2022
Interview
Online assessment, 2 round phone interview, then 4 hour final round all virtual. OA was relatively difficult. Phone interview and final round were both technical and behavioral. Scheduling the interviews was frustrating and required several emails, and the entire process took almost 2 months.
