Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

It started with CV screening and a number of online tests. There are logical, analytical, and programming questions that are more algorithmic rather than specified languages. Since I had applied for their internship a while ago, some of those test results were remembered so I didn't have to do the same ones, but there are a couple of different tests.

I had two rounds of interviews: one focused on motivation questions, and the other was more technical, which includes a round of system design.

Questions

One of the questions they asked was about what drives me to software engineering, as well as what I value the most from a job.

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Friendly coworkers, open company culture, good on CV, pay is good in Italy standards.

Cons: Company culture that thinks scrutinizing tiny details (even personality traits) as giving feedback, HR can be non-responsive after accepting the offer, poor WLB (no one forces you to overwork but it is obvious if you don’t since this is what everyone else does)
