Dublin, DublinPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with an online assessment that led into two more rounds.

Those later rounds each mixed behavioral and technical content, with a short 15-minute gap between them.

What I remember most is that they leaned more heavily into the behavioral portion than the technical one, which made the overall vibe less like a pure coding gauntlet and more like they were assessing how I think and communicate. The difficulty felt on the easier side for me. I didn’t end up with an offer.
