The hiring process at PEAK6 takes an average of 60 days when considering 3 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 60 days), whereas Software Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 60 days).
First Engineering Manager round then take home assignment, live coding session round. I can also second the earlier feedback. I handed in my take home assignment on hackerrank that was evaluated as the best performance and overall complexity option for that problem, but I never got a callback. It’s not a problem, this is how interviews and hiring go, but I was super confused on what was the issue with my assignment.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Budapest) in Apr 2026
Interview
There are many rounds, I completed the coding homework and then they gosted me
HR interview - about 10-20 minutes
Manager Interview (local office) - 30 minutes, basic introductions and motivations;
Coding homework (Hackerrank) - 1.5 hours;
------ next stages were only described to me, because after I sent back the homework, they never contacted me, even though I cleared all the tests and finished in 50 minutes instead of 90 minutes. ------
Manager interview - global side - about 30 minutes;
