Senior Front End Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
It took me a couple of weeks to schedule the first stage interview with the hiring manager. The in-house recruiter couldn't send me an invitation, so I had to contact them a couple of times to get a link to finally schedule an interview.
The first stage was a hiring manager interview, and it was an average conversation about projects and experience. From a strange questions perspective, I was asked where exactly I live. I never heard from them after that stage.

- 3.0Company with potential at risk of going wrongSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomOctober 10, 2024Pros: Good colleagues, modern .Net core & micro service architecture, free lunch.Cons: The churn is real. Lots of experienced engineers are leaving or have recently left. Progression is slow and cumbersome, with a four-month-long review process that is calibrated across the company to produce a bell curve. In other words, it's enforced mediocrity. Technical decision-making is chaotic. RTO of three days per week is rigidly enforced, and the mass exoduses are partially the result.
