Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process itself was well-organized. Communication with the recruiter and each interviewer was professional.

However, after completing a total of eight individual interviews/calls – including a recruiter screening, a hiring manager screener with coding, three coding interviews, one system design interview, one behavioral interview, and one miscellaneous culture “fit” interview (which was rescheduled multiple times) – I received an auto-generated rejection email with zero detail.

I requested more information from the recruiter and received another auto-generated follow-up with zero details.

I had spent weeks preparing, sacrificed annual leave to fit the schedule of cramming these interviews back-to-back, and adjusting to their rescheduling, not to mention hours of interviews. The least I expected was some small amount of feedback on where my gaps were so I could learn.

Then they had the gall to send an automated survey asking me for feedback! Outrageous.
