Graduate Software Developer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
A month after the online application, I received an email about a phone interview.
I called on time. First, we talked about their team, then they asked about my projects, followed by two algorithm questions from "Cracking the Coding Interview."
They helped when I got stuck.
Two weeks later, I received an invitation to attend an on-site interview.
First, they gave me a small tour of the building.
Then, I had an individual interview with junior engineers, with two coding questions.
Next was a programming interview with a more senior engineer, followed by a motivational interview with HR.
