Xero Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Aug 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a technical interview that I passed, the next round was a dedicated Values Assessment interview.

I asked what it covered, because I wasn’t sure whether it would be another coding round or something more culture-focused. The reply made it sound like a standard culture-fit interview—mostly behavioral questions in a structured, STAR-style format.

Overall, the experience felt straightforward: I moved from technical to this values-focused round, with no surprises about the intent. It reinforced that the current software engineer loop included a separate values assessment step, rather than bundling everything into the technical interview.
