Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

January 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Invited for an in person interview. Interview was relatively straightforward, and went well.

Invited to complete personality / situational judgement test afterwards

Booked in for final interview via Microsoft Teams, but there was a misunderstanding, interview was supposed to be in person, so rescheduled for next week.

Next week came, hiring manager called me to say we'd have to move our interview again due to a "technical outage".

Recruiter called following day saying they went with another candidate, and said I would receive interview feedback in a follow up call I am yet to receive.

Overall bad experience. Team / project and salary were not terrible mind you.
