Interviewing at Kabbage
You can expect a multi-stage loop that mixes recruiter screening with team and leadership conversations, plus technical depth in the middle. Based on the reported process steps, you will talk to team members more than once, and you will also have interviews that include both technical discussion and behavioral or cultural fit checks.
The questions data points to a consistent technical core across many role types: SQL is prominent, as are Data Structures and Algorithms, and API fundamentals. You should also prepare for technical areas called out as very prominent, including Test Automation, Machine Learning concepts, Data Engineering, and Sales Communication mock calls, plus tool-level preparation like Selenium and writing product requirements or stories.
In terms of what happens after, the reported stages end with offer discussion, so the process is designed to culminate in compensation and terms being discussed if you clear prior rounds. From the candidate report data provided here, overall offer rate is 0.0%, so while many candidates report positive sentiment, you should treat the likelihood of an offer as unknown from this dataset and focus on executing strongly in each stage.
The interview topics show a dual emphasis: you will likely be evaluated on core engineering and data skills (SQL, algorithms, APIs, data engineering, and even Selenium/test automation), and you will also be tested on communication and requirements work (Sales Communication mock calls, and product requirements or story writing).

The interview process, end to end
5 rounds · based on 175 candidate reports- 1Recruiter phone screen
You will have an initial call conducted by a recruiter to assess your background and role fit. Use this time to align your experience with the role and be ready to discuss why you are a fit for the position they are hiring for.
- 2Team member interviews
You will meet team members in additional interviews to evaluate technical skills and collaboration, with behavioral and cultural fit elements referenced in the reported descriptions. Expect at least one set of interviews focused on practical technical ability and working style.
- 3Technical assessment and/or technical interviews
Some candidates report a technical assessment, including data science related evaluation, and separate technical interviews that may include coding exercises and problem-solving scenarios. The topic data strongly suggests preparation across SQL, Data Structures and Algorithms, API fundamentals, and possibly Selenium and test automation.
- 4Hiring manager interview
You will have an in-depth conversation with a hiring manager to evaluate technical skills and cultural fit, plus alignment with team goals. Be ready to connect your technical approach to how you would contribute in the role.
- 5Final interview with leadership and offer discussion
The reported process can include a final interview with founders or leadership to evaluate overall fit and alignment with company values, sometimes described as in-person. If you proceed far enough, there is an offer discussion step that covers salary and other employment terms.

What separates offers from rejections
Patterns from candidates who got offers, and the mistakes that most often sink a loop.
Do this
- Prepare for SQL and practical problem solving tied to data work, since SQL is a top topic and Data Structures and Algorithms is also heavily represented. Be ready to explain tradeoffs and reasoning, not just produce an answer.
- Brush up on Data Structures and Algorithms style questions and related coding exercises, because Algorithms and Data Structures are listed as very prominent. Practice scenarios that require you to implement or reason about solutions step by step.
- Expect technical evaluation to include test automation and Selenium, plan to discuss how you approach automation and what you would test. Bring examples of how you structure tests and validate outcomes.
- Be ready for communication style prompts, including Sales Communication mock calls, and for writing product requirements or stories. Practice delivering clear, structured explanations and making requirements precise.
Avoid this
- Do not focus only on generic behavioral answers. The topics list includes several highly prominent technical areas like API fundamentals, Data Engineering, Test Automation, and Machine Learning concepts.
- Do not underprepare on tooling, because Selenium is explicitly very prominent (percentile 96). Even if you are not a QA-focused candidate, the presence of Selenium suggests tool-level familiarity matters.
- Do not rely on easy-only readiness. Your reported difficulty distribution includes a meaningful share of hard and very hard questions, so treat medium as not enough on its own.
- Do not ignore product thinking. Product requirements or story writing is near the top of the topic list (percentile 96), so be able to translate goals into concrete requirements.
