Software Developer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I had four rounds in total.
The first round was via telephone with one interviewer. The second round was via Skype with two interviewers. Both of these rounds required me to use a website to do some coding. These were purely technical interviews.
Then, they asked me to fly to London to attend the final interviews. The first of these was another technical interview, face-to-face and more difficult. The final round was with HR.
The whole process was nice, and the tips they mentioned in emails were helpful! The recruiters were nice and welcoming.

Good management - easy to communicate with higher management and business. Salaries/Bonuses/Healthcare/Incentives - among the best in the country. Very beautiful office - this definitely counts in liking your job. Opportunities for fast growth. 20 vacation days - much better than many companies.Cons: Hectic. Need to slog sometimes. Some legacy code to be dealt with at times, but this depends on the team. No cubicles, just desks. This makes it hard for personal matters, like checking your emails or answering personal calls. And your manager, his manager, his manager – all eyes are on you. Manhattan: Commuting time is high.

A perfect job if you want to settle down and have some stability.Cons: Work-life balance can sometimes be tricky, as there is a culture of overworking. It's certainly not a young startup.
