I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Braze (Jakarta) in May 2025
Interview
Overall, it is fine.
There are 4 stages: HR screening, Technical Interview, Test, and Director Test.
Failed on the Test stage, and the overall process is fine with fast response.
Once you apply, within a couple of days, you might receive an email to schedule the interview with the hiring team, and than less than 3 days, you will get notified if you are eligible to do the next stages.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Braze in Apr 2021
Interview
Was approached by a recruiter for a phone screen. Then invited to video interview with a manager. Once that was passed I was given a HackerRank algorithm challenge. I made it onto the final round which was an hour long live code challenge and a 30 minute interview with another manager but I had to turn it down since I received another offer.

Interview
Phone screen with a recruiter, Hackerrank coding challenge, zoom call with the hiring manager, and then virtual onsite with the hiring manager and a few other people.
All went well until the live coding session where they asked me to implement a spiral matrix algorithm. I struggled with the question and couldn't complete it on time, and the remainder of my offsite got cancelled... I know algorithms is a common practice in interviews, but it felt ridiculous to do that for a supporting engineer position, i.e. very junior role.
