Interview
I interviewed at Glovo on August 2022. Three rounds of remote interviews. R1 was HR screening. Nothing too special but the HR told me they did sponsor visa (I was not in EU countries so that was required by me to work in Spain). R2 was a coding interview from two engineers. They asked two easy leetcode questions, also some questions on basic DS and testing. R3 contains one system design session and one behavioral one. The experience was good. The engineers were friendly and helpful. Feedback was provided after each round. I received a rejection via phone a week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Pros & Cons of Scrum - Differences between Integration Testing & Unit Testing - 1 typical system design question & follow-ups to use object-oriented design to this system you came up
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.

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.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Glovo in Jan 2025
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
