I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
The interview process was very organised. It took a bit longer than it needed to be due to availability of the interviewing staff, but it was each enough. The interview process is constantly being refined but it followed the structure below:
1. Screening with talent acquision specialist
2. Hackerrank test on fundamentals
3. Technical interview with Senior Engineer (review of skills and technical assessment, again Hackerrank solution).
4. Behavioural Interview
5. Offer

I am due to have my first technical interview after an initial screening with one of their recruiters. The initial call was more about him telling me about checkout.com and me just giving a high level overview of my experience

I applied online. I interviewed at Checkout.com (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interviewer ghosted me after the initial interview was set up. Then, a new interview was scheduled. I had an interview with a manager in London, UK.
The interviewer asked some general programming questions, and I answered with relatively reasonable answers. Although the process went smoothly, I had no idea that they had no interest in continuing the hiring process.
Considering the initial interview was set up without any notice, I was ghosted by the initial manager for about 20 minutes, so this one is weird.
