Colombo, WesternPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process was centered around one technical round.

It was mainly about discussing my past system contributions, and the evaluation covered a few consistent areas: Java, microservices, monitoring tools, and system design.

The conversation felt structured and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical knowledge and how I’d handled architecture-level decisions before. I wasn’t put under a complicated format—just asked to explain my experience and the thinking behind it.

In the end, I didn’t receive an offer, but the round itself felt aligned with what they likely needed from the role.
