      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Perk

      Interview

      Multi stage process, competency then coding then system design. Each stage is 90 - 120 mins which seems excessive. Generally the people you meet are not going to be in the team you will work in and they all say every team is quite different. This means you are not getting a good insight into who your manager will be, or what the job and the day to day will be like during the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a project you worked on and the life cycle stages it went through and what happened? Coding challenge is very heavy on reading api docs. Display pins on a Google map to show tourist locations.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and taking the time to provide feedback on our interview process. We understand that the multi-stage process, including competency, coding, and system design assessments, can feel extensive. We design our interviews to be thorough because we want to ensure that TravelPerk is the right place for you to grow and succeed, and we also want to give you the opportunity to fully showcase your skills. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t get to meet your potential future manager or team during the process. Because we’re growing across various product teams, we don’t always advertise for specific teams initially. However, as candidates progress through the process, we’re more than happy to discuss specific teams that align with your interests and career goals. We also make sure that by the time an offer is made, you’ll have had the chance to meet your future manager, so you know who you’ll be working with. Regarding the time commitment for the interviews, we understand that it’s a big investment on both sides. We believe this thorough approach helps us ensure that you’ll be happy and successful here at TravelPerk. We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your job search.

      I interviewed at Perk

      Interview

      Was reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Scheduled a meeting with them. Interview felt a little off. Recruiter would ask a question and then move on to the next one without pausing or follow-ups, he was looking down the whole time reading the questions directly. You can tell he didn’t care what I was saying since the interview had a transcript recording. He then stated that the technical interview will be as difficult as FAANG because they have a high bar. He then says he hates when recruiters ghost candidates so I should expect an email within a week to know if I’ve moved on. It’s been a few weeks and no response. Granted, I could’ve reached out but if your whole spiel is not ghosting candidates and then you proceed to do so, I don’t want to follow up with you.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Perk (Barcelona) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Hands down worst interview I have ever had. The first technical test was fine just basic questions. The second test was supposed to be a screen share code challenge. When i arrived the interviewer asked to see my prepared API which I didn't have, the email confirming the test didn't tell me to set up anything beforehand and i checked spam but got nothing so I had nothing to build off of. The interviewer then proceeded to rush the test and push me to make an APi but kept saying oh don't actually make the file structure and don't worry about interfaces etc and just make it functional. I was going to leave the interview but as someone had referred me I didn't want to make them look bad. Even though rushed I finished the API and described to him the preferred way of doing it. The response was, "the code structure could have been better organized" and rejected. Obviously it could've been better organized but he said just make it functional because we don't have time. Terrible way to interview. If the interview isn't prepared then reschedule and let me build something robust, don't decide to rush it.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Perk

      Interview

      30 min recruiter call, 1.5 hour technical discussion, 1.5 hour live coding, 2 hour system design, 30 min call with a senior leader. Process took multiple weeks - overly lengthy and onerous given what the company has to offer. Would avoid going through such a process again.
