London, EnglandPosted Jun 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had an unusually positive, well-organized GitHub interview experience for Software Engineer, with clear progression through multiple stages over about two months, and I ended up with an offer.

Application to take-home test — I applied online and then received a take-home technical task.
Multi-stage interviews with many teammates — I met a lot of people across technical and non-technical skills, with little waiting between stages.
High-touch, friendly panels — Each stage felt structured, and everyone I met was welcoming and made the process feel comfortable.
Outcome: I received an offer; the takeaway is that with a well-run pipeline, the technical and interpersonal parts can feel genuinely supportive.
