      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Justworks in Sept 2025

      Interview

      HR recruiter screen followed by a CodeSignal take home assessment. The HR recruiter explicitly asks you to mention how you incorporate/facilitate DEI which is quite unusual and pompous (I'm a person of color first of all). The CodeSignal take home assessment is 90 mins which is not a lot of time given multiple levels to the problem presented. You'll need to rush (or use AI). I had a great solution but couldn't make it through the last part and was rejected with a boilerplate generic response the next day.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Justworks

      Interview

      Automated coding screener questions were very good, not the usual LeetCode garbage. Was practical and each level built upon the previous. Was one of the worst "Conversational" stage interviews I’ve had the displeasure of being part of though. The interviewer didn’t seem to care about my answers other than when I floundered one and was asked to give another example. There was generally no follow-on questions, or diving into further conversation - it was just rapid fire questions being clearly read from a list. It felt like they just wanted to get through their list of questions as quickly as possible. I was not given an “opportunity to share more about your technical contributions throughout your career” as detailed in the preparation email. Was all behavioral-like questions with some technical trivia. Very different than what was advertised!

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Justworks in Mar 2026

      Interview

      This company gives a timed exam before even having candidates meet with a recruiter. Unfortunately for them, they will be missing out on excellent candidates with deep experience in favor of good test-takers. If you want to work for a company where the emphasis is on banging out code as quickly as possible as opposed to thoughtful collaboration, Justworks might be a good fit for you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A test on Code Signal in a language of your choice.
