I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Galil Software (Haifa) in Jan 2024
Interview
1. Home Assignment Discussion
The first part focused on the home task I had submitted. The interviewers asked about my implementation decisions, why I chose Vite, what Vite is and its advantages, the CSS approach I used, and general frontend concepts such as React, components, and related technologies. Most of the discussion revolved around the architecture and implementation of the assignment.
2. Coding / LeetCode Questions
The second part included a few relatively easy coding questions similar to LeetCode problems, focusing on problem-solving and basic algorithmic thinking.
3. System Design / Backend Architecture
The final part was an architecture discussion focused on the server side. We talked about handling incoming requests at scale, using queues, processing jobs efficiently, and ensuring requests are handled in the correct order and within acceptable response times.

Question 1
The interview consisted of three stages: (1) a deep discussion of the home assignment, covering React, Vite, CSS, and implementation choices; (2) several easy LeetCode-style coding questions; and (3) a backend architecture discussion focused on request handling, queues, scalability, and efficient server-side processing.
I applied online. I interviewed at Galil Software (Nazareth) in Jun 2021
Interview
face to face technical interview with the head of the team, talking about the position and myself.
the interviewer was full of himself, kept talking about himself and his accomplishments and poorly talked about the job itself and then gave me coding problem to solve.
second interview was also technical interview.
then 2 more HR interviews.
then they gave me home assignment followed by interview to explain my solution.
a very very very very long process to surprise me with a VERY LOW salary! like half what I get from working as Intern somewhere else!
I had to decline the offer ofcourse! and told them that they should tell the candidates from the first day that they don't pay good!
felt like they were making a joke of me.
