      Principal Frontend Engineer Interview

      22 May 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Amsterdam
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      First a 30 minute call with recruiter who explained about the role, the salary range and gave opportunity for questions. Second a take-home coding test, which took around 2 hours and wasn't too difficult. Third round was an interview with two principal engineers with conceptual questions, discussions and a live-coding test. Last interview was with product manager and members of the project team which focussed more on the business side, how I would make certain decisions and to see if a fit with the team was there. Overall a very pleasant experience with quick reaction times and friendly people. Gave me a positive impression of Backbase

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase (Bhiwandi) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      There was 3 round of interview. The first was an Angular test. It was followed by a technical interview and cultural fitness round. Interview lengths were normal from 30 minutes to 1 hour. I really liked all 3 rounds. I myself take interviews, it is a learning for me to improve the interview-taking process.

      Principal Frontend Engineer Interview

      27 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Backbase (Amsterdam) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      I was given an assignment to complete within a week time after initial phone screening. This was to design a bank website UI prototype. I submitted the assignment while taking care of all the necessary checks and validation. I got an email update couple of days later that the assignment was not up to what they are expecting and they came up with absurd reason to deny the position. They are just looking to get their basic framework done for free without paying a penny.

      Question 1

      Initial phone screening (Non-tech) followed by an assignment.
