Application Process & Interviews at Xero Australia

I came in as a grad but they were flexible and they always made me feel comfortable.

Very approachable. 1. Submit CV and cover letter 2. Video interview 3. Technical assignment (write some code) 4. Two interviews, one focused on technical ability and the other on soft skills 5. Presentation to other interviewees and interviewers (you have about 10 minutes to research something and then put on a presentation)

It was really interesting and enjoyable. The HR was very approachable. The assessments were well designed.

One of the employee was really kind and I can confidently say I wouldn't have accepted this role if it weren't for her support and encouragement.

Everything was really well laid out, I always knew which stage of the recruitment process I was in, and I knew how many steps there were left.

I had a couple of interviews. There were engineering related questions and behavior questions to see how I would fit

There was one about Xero values

Xero value, basic behaviour questions and some software engineering questions.

Can't really remember. I think I got asked about a time when I have encountered a challenge or conflict and how I managed this. I also got ask about which value do I identify most with.

Just be calm and be yourself

Be yourself in the interview, with a little bit more confidence and eagerness. Support people during the presentations.

Understand the company values and reflect on how these align (or don't) with your own values and the work that you want to do.
