Application
I applied online. I interviewed at WalkMe (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
For your first technical interview, you were initially presented with a LeetCode problem categorized as medium difficulty. Following your response to this problem, the interview progressed to a discussion about fundamental principles in software engineering, where you were asked to elaborate on some basic concepts. This format aimed to assess both your problem-solving skills through the coding challenge and your theoretical understanding of software engineering principles.

The office is amazing, the people are nice throughout all stages.
The professional interviews are of a high standard but feel like they are not looking to intentionally overwhelm and are also looking for the right fit for the role.
