      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 25, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Rwanda
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Andela (Rwanda) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Too long, too many stages to prove you're are "Andela" material. Mentally draining with little benefits at the end of it all. That said, the interview did ween out any posers and people who aren't passionate about tech

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical interview question really. Before the interview though, there was a lengthy online programming test(s) Q: Why do you want to join Andela?

      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.

      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.

      Positive experience
      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.
