Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for Software Engineer at Aubay Spain, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
After a recruiter call, I got pushed into a more structured flow: roughly a week later I had a technical screen, then moved into an assessment stage where they used HackerRank/LeetCode-style questions along with a questionnaire. The overall process felt fairly streamlined and not overly heavy, but it was clearly designed to filter quickly. I remember there being a couple of people involved—recruiting first, then a consultant manager conversation, and finally the coding test with a mix of challenges.
My path started normally enough: after the HR conversation, I did a coding test and then a technical interview, and everything went well. What threw me off was that I was later asked to go in person even though it hadn’t been part of what I initially understood during the earlier steps. I accepted and showed up at their offices.
