Candidates describe Gecko Robotics software interviews as starting with a recruiter screen and an online or technical coding step. Later steps may include data processing, system design, and behavioral questions.

Five candidates describe Gecko Robotics interviews for software-related roles, and all five report rejections. Their paths differ by role, so treat the stages as possibilities rather than a fixed sequence.
The coding step is the most consistent theme. A Localization Engineer candidate reports an online assessment with two dynamic programming questions. A new grad candidate reports a two-question assessment where passing every test case took more careful implementation than expected. That candidate later got a tech screen problem similar to Number of Islands with a Gecko-specific twist, so practice adapting grid and connected-components problems rather than reciting a standard solution.
One Software Engineer candidate reports pair programming focused on data processing rather than LeetCode-style puzzles. The same candidate describes an in-person panel day with system design, more data processing, and behavioral questions from different team members. If you reach that stage, prepare to discuss data transformation and architecture choices.
A Software Test Engineer candidate reports a coding interview with a manager where the problem statement was vague, so practice asking clarifying questions before committing to an approach. That manager also asked why the candidate was leaving their current company. Recruiter screens in several reports covered your background and why you want Gecko. Have concise, specific answers ready for both.
One intern candidate reports scheduling mix-ups, including a missing HackerRank link and a rescheduled call, before being told the headcount had been filled. That is a single report, but it is a reminder to confirm logistics early.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report a conversational recruiter call covering your resume or past projects and why you want Gecko Robotics. Prepare a specific answer for why Gecko and a short summary of your key projects.
Two candidates report an online assessment with two coding questions. One describes dynamic programming problems and another says passing every test case needed careful implementation. Candidates may see different content by role, so practice DP, data structures, and thorough edge-case handling.
Reports of the technical round vary. A new grad candidate describes a Number of Islands-style problem with a Gecko-specific twist. A test engineer describes a vaguely specified coding challenge with a manager, who also asked why they were leaving their current company. An intern's HackerRank-based phone interview was rescheduled and did not take place before a headcount rejection. Expect applied problems and be ready to ask clarifying questions.
One Software Engineer candidate reports a pair programming round on data processing tasks, followed by an in-person panel day with system design, more data processing, and behavioral questions. A new grad candidate was told the onsite is a 3-hour session of 1-hour interviews, though they did not reach it. Prepare for these stages, which may vary by role.
