Stockholm, StockholmPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had an intro chat with the recruiter, then a coding round that was described to me as a screening step, followed by a last round that involved multiple interviews.

The final stage included four separate sessions—two technical ones, a cultural interview, and a system design component—and the scheduling could either be all on the same day or spread across two days.

I didn’t end up with an offer. What I remember most is how many interview slots there were in the end stage, which made the whole process feel like it required sustained performance, not just one good day.
