Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

November 1, 2021
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Overall, I had a great experience interacting with the recruiting team.

They always answered in a timely manner and were open to negotiations.

Another positive trait was that they gave me detailed feedback on my interview.

Nothing really to complain about since everyone showed engagement in the process, yet one of them had a rather condescending attitude toward me.

Questions

For a system design interview round, I was tasked with designing a digest collection and notification system. In a nutshell, data is digested from multiple sources, and users are notified at configured intervals about recent events.

The coding interview rounds included the following problems:

  • A Candy Crush-like problem.
  • Count the number of islands.
  • Given a number of exchange operating hours, determine whether a trade with the specified start and end time could be performed.
  • Design a response buffering class.
