What’s the interview process like?

Our interview process is simple, just two rounds and no coding tests.

The first round is a chat with our CTO and a software engineer - there will be some “tell us about a time when…” questions around your experience building web applications and plenty of opportunities for you to find out more about Florence.

The second round is a chat with one of our product managers and someone else from the team. This is more informal and gives you an opportunity to meet more of the team. We'll talk through one of the product challenges we're tackling at the moment and get some of your thoughts and ideas.

For more junior candidates (< 1 year experience) we may in addition ask you to undertake a brief code review of some sample code, highlighting what it does, and any areas you would improve it.
