I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Londen, Engeland) in Mar 2026
Interview
The process starts with an initial technical screening with an Engineering Manager (EM), focusing on coding, testing methodologies, and observability. For the next stage, I've opted for a take-home assignment over a live coding session. The final round will consist of a system design interview and a culture fit meeting with a Director.
Interview was arranged and then I received two cancallations by email.
Left a voicemail at the arranged interview date and time, stating they were still interested in conducting the interview.
On the second scheduled interview, the interviewer Daniel didn't show.
Overall a seemingly unorganised and poorly managed process reflecting poorly on the company as a whole.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Tallinn) in Feb 2026
Interview
The best interview process that I had so far . Starts with a survey after the recruiter screening which is very detailed for the candidates to align with the company culture, with a clear feedback on the end. The challenge at home with a task that makes sense for the domain of the company was the next one, followed by a live explanation of the project I liked much more than the traditional pair programming rounds, as it removes a bit the pressure of live coding which eventually brings problems totally disconnected of the position that we are applying and gives you the time to discuss your solution with the interviewers afterwards. The final stages, system design and values interview in person are much more enjoyable and feels more like a workday at the office with a colleagues than live interviewers made on-line.
