Very interactive interview process and hands-on based on first principles. There is a lot to learn even for those that don't make it through. A prospective engineer is required to know the project requirements through to planning down the last detail of implementation. Initially, there was a Bootcamp process especially in the early days and I believe this gave the best experience and built a solid team right from the start helping teams to quickly plugin when they started actual work beyond the bootcamp.

Describe the software development process
Solve a coding problem. Sometimes a take-home assignment.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Andela
Colloquio
The process involved a personality test, a timed coding assessment in a language of your preference with about three questions, and a face-to-face interview with the recruiter.
I then had a technical interview.

Previous experience with the job I was applying for
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Andela nel mese di mag 2025
Colloquio
I was reached out to by a recruiter. The whole process had 2 stages. The first one was an online test with single or multiple choice questions (these are often extremely ambiguous) and a tech task. Then you have a tech interview. The questions themselves were quite easy but there is another live coding challenge where you can't use an IDE or debugger. Failed live coding got an automated rejection email just in a few minutes. Do not recommend.

What have you done at your current and previous projects. Have you designed a DB from scratch etc.
My interview with Andela was a great experience. The interviewers were professional and friendly, which made me feel comfortable throughout the process. They asked thoughtful questions that tested both my technical and problem-solving skills. I appreciated the structure of the interview—it was well-organized and gave me an opportunity to showcase my strengths. It also gave me a good sense of the company's culture and what they value in a candidate. Overall, it was both challenging and encouraging, and I left the interview feeling confident and motivated.

Can you walk us through how you would design a RESTful API for a task management application (like Trello or Asana)?
