      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 7, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Glovo in Mar 2022

      Interview

      Glovo was recruiting for "senior" engineers but they work with levels. Here it was about L2 and L3. So even if you feel you did a poor job, you might get away with a L2 offer instead of a L3. All in all, 6 online interviews. If you have a lot of free time you can squeeze it in less than a month. Each step is well explained by the recruiter and pdf files. 1. Screening with a recruiter Don't overlook this first one as there is a mix of standard and technical questions, such as : why Glovo, tell more about Glovo, your experiences... technical questions about structures, sorting algorithm complexity, Design pattern, Rest, MS vs monolith architecture... 2. Algorithm coding interview 3 exercises to be done in less than 1h30. They are not really complex, but if you are not used to that kind of thing, your brain might completely freeze (mine did that). If you have some time, use pramp by exponent or any other website doing mocking interviews, so that you keep your stress level under control. You can also complete your preparation with the "cracking the coding interview book" (or something similar) but I am not really convinced by the ROI of reading the whole thing. They are more interested by your thought process and will step in if you are drifting away. Explain what you are doing and it should be fine (and pay attention to your tests: find more edge cases) 3. Technical questions interview This one is extremely well explained in the resource given by the recruiter. Expect technical and follow-up questions. 4. Culture fit interview Keep in mind the main keywords of Glovo when you speak about your experience and everything should be fine. 5. Application design interview 2 parts: domain model design and REST API design. If you are used to anemic domain models like me, brush a bit OOP (come up with correct classes and more importantly their methods). I had a question that is already listed in glassdoor. Word of advice: if you can do a mock interview using pramp, do it. 6. System design interview I was expecting something very difficult such as what you can find in algoexpert.io website, but this one was simpler. The question I had is already listed on Glassdoor. Once again, if you are not used to system design interview, do mocking interviews beforehand. 4, 5 and 6 are scheduled at the same time by the coordinator, and can be in another order. I rated "difficult" because I did not practice application & system design interviews, but if you are used to it, the overall process is not really difficult for a seasoned developer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Communication between MS? 2. Name 4 (or 5?) design patterns 3. Name few sorting algorithms with their complexity

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Barcelona
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Glovo (Barcelona)

      Interview

      Had a call with the HR manager, he introduced the company and its plans, asked about my motivation and experience. The conversation was friendly and polite. I received clear answers to all my questions. However, I didn’t feel any particular interest in me as a candidate. One of the questions seemed a bit suspicious, what would I do if a production issue occurred on a Friday evening. The response from the company came the next day, automatically, from a no-reply address. That made it impossible to ask for immediate feedback or any follow-up questions. To me, receiving an automatic response from a no-reply sender is somewhat telling about the internal culture.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Glovo (Barcelona) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Leetcode-style question with a clever twist, incorporating unique constraints and edge cases. The solution includes thorough unit test coverage and insightful discussions on multi-threading, concurrency control, synchronization techniques, potential race conditions, and performance trade-offs in real-world, production-grade scenarios.

      Interview

      I had a two-step interview. The first was a casual chat about my background and what I’m looking for. The second was a live coding session with a medium problem, followed by questions on time and space complexity and how a HashMap works under the hood

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What is the time and space complexity of your solution?
