Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cambridge, United Kingdom
Process
For as far as I got, the interview process consisted of:
- Apply for the job
- Wait one month
- Have telephone interview
- Never hear back again.
Job is still marked as "In Recruitment Process", but given that I had my telephone interview over a month ago at the time of writing this review, I've given up all hope of ever getting a response. Recruiters have been completely unresponsive to email, and I can't reach them on the phone, despite having to pay for international calling.
