  Debugging, Rewards System Design, AI Coding, Then a RejectionBrex · Software Engineer · Onsite · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  There were three rounds in total. The first round was debugging. You download the project to your local machine and use an IDE you're comfortable with, or you can use CodeSignal. The problem and the bug location were exactly the same as in another post on the forum. Thanks, buddy, although you still have to pretend you don't know the answer and hunt for the bug, which takes some acting 🤡 The seco…

There are three tasks to implement: Implement a can_purchase(card, player_gems) function. Given a card and the playe…

  Brex Software Engineer interview with debugging and high pressure system designBrex · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · May 2026

  Rejected

  I went through a recruiter call and then several technical rounds. The whole process felt hostile and disrespectful of my time. Even when the interviewers were outwardly neutral, I didn't feel much respect for the effort involved in sitting through multiple steps. The hardest part was that I never got clear feedback about why I was rejected, so I was left guessing where things went wrong. The tec…

  Brex Account Executive interview: timed prospecting and discovery role-playBrex · Account Executive · HR Screen · Dec 2025

  Rejected

  I went through a recruiter screen first, followed by conversations with managers and a panel-style component. The process felt fairly standard for sales, with a clear sequence from one step to the next. The recruiting team communicated well, and the overall tone was professional. The people I spoke with were generally nice. The more intense part was the live sales work. I completed a timed, scena…

  Brex Software Engineer interview delayed for months before I took another offerBrex · Software Engineer · Nov 2025

  Offer

  My process stretched on for months and felt completely disorganized. The recruiter sometimes couldn't get a response from the hiring team for more than a week, so I was left waiting without any real momentum. The interview steps never lined up cleanly because of the delays. What I remember most is the lack of updates and the way the timeline kept slipping. By the time anything finally moved, I'd…

  Brex Software Engineer interview: recruiter call under 15 minutesBrex · Software Engineer · Oct 2025

  Rejected

  I applied and quickly received an invitation for a screening call, so the timeline moved fast. The process ended with a rejection shortly afterward, although the screening itself was fairly standard. The recruiter call lasted under 15 minutes. We went through the usual prompts: telling me about myself, describing a project or complex feature I had worked on, and explaining how I approached it. Th…

  Brex Software Engineer 50-minute React filter challengeBrex · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Sep 2025

  My process centered on a single coding challenge with a very specific setup. I had to build a filter with toggles using data from a JSON file. The task involved React, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and the 50-minute time limit made it feel tight to finish. The challenge was tricky because the UI behavior had to be correct while I wired everything quickly enough to reach a working state before time r…

  Brex Account Executive interview with mock cold-call roundsBrex · Account Executive · Other · Aug 2025

  Rejected

  My process with Brex didn’t feel smooth, even though it started in a fairly normal way. I went through the usual early screening setup, but the scheduling and follow-through immediately gave me a strange feeling. One calendar invite was outside the availability I’d provided. When I asked questions beforehand, they were mostly brushed off. On the day of the interview, the interviewer was late and…

  Brex Frontend Engineer interview with interrupted live codingBrex · Frontend Engineer · Technical Screen · May 2024

  Rejected

  I started with an interview that felt straightforward and respectful, and the recruiter seemed involved and supportive. Then I moved into a technical coding interview where the interviewer repeatedly required me to talk while coding. I found that counterproductive. The constant interruptions made it easy to lose focus and added anxiety to an already stressful live coding environment. I was trying…
