      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      11 Mar 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Elastic in Dec 2025

      Interview

      Nice experience overall with a few rounds of technical and behavioral interviews. Seems they value more the behavioral part since their positions are remote first. Easy leetcode style problems and other questions related to concurrency or system design. Behavior interview is more serious than expected and is better to prepare before, use STAR framework.

      Senior Software Developer Interview

      28 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Warsaw, Masovia
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Elastic (Warsaw, Masovia) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      Had a very nice 45 minutes talk with the recruiter. Talked about my previous experience, my skills, my goals in a career. And from the other side the project, the position, the company. Ultimately, however, it was a waste of time because the position apparently required open source experience. This supposedly means that you have a unique set of skills that you couldn't have acquired otherwise. In my opinion, it's a rather silly filter to have.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      24 Oct 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Elastic in Oct 2025

      Interview

      It’s based on three interviews, excluding the first one with HR, in the others, there are always two interviewers, which is a very important detail to reduce bias. It's clear that the interviewers have extensive interview experience (beyond their vast technical expertise). They don't just assess your knowledge of a specific library; I understand they're evaluating broader criteria. In my experience, it's one of the best processes I've ever undertaken, regardless of the outcome. It's clear that the company's values ​​are reflected in the interviews.

      Question 1

      They give you an exercise, and you do a live code review of it. They also dig into your work experience and ask follow-up questions about it.
