      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 11, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Andela in Aug 2022

      Interview

      The whole interview process is completely automated. I went through two rounds but had to stop due to the second round involves an algorithimic test on Hackerrank. First round is an automated evaluation of English speaking skills, using Emmerson's service.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I will give the problems that were used for the algo round: 1. Given an array of integers, find all the pairs having the smallest distance between them, and print them in lexical order. 2. Given two points p, q and three points that form a triangle, determine if the points form a valid triangle, if p falls inside this triangle, and if q falls inside this triangle. 3. Given a string s, a series of queries each composed of a pair of indices (i, j) and a number of edits k, determine for each query if the substring delimited by its pair of indices indices (i, j) can be edited at most k times to form a string that can be rearranged to a palindrome

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Andela

      Interview

      The process involved a personality test, a timed coding assessment in a language of your preference with about three questions, and a face-to-face interview with the recruiter. I then had a technical interview.

      Software Developer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Andela in May 2025

      Interview

      I was reached out to by a recruiter. The whole process had 2 stages. The first one was an online test with single or multiple choice questions (these are often extremely ambiguous) and a tech task. Then you have a tech interview. The questions themselves were quite easy but there is another live coding challenge where you can't use an IDE or debugger. Failed live coding got an automated rejection email just in a few minutes. Do not recommend.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What have you done at your current and previous projects. Have you designed a DB from scratch etc.

      Difficult interview

      I interviewed at Andela (Nairobi)

      Interview

      My interview with Andela was a great experience. The interviewers were professional and friendly, which made me feel comfortable throughout the process. They asked thoughtful questions that tested both my technical and problem-solving skills. I appreciated the structure of the interview—it was well-organized and gave me an opportunity to showcase my strengths. It also gave me a good sense of the company's culture and what they value in a candidate. Overall, it was both challenging and encouraging, and I left the interview feeling confident and motivated.
