Engineering Manager Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
It was a very bad experience, to be honest. I passed all the interviews, only to find out that the role was cancelled and no hire would be made.
- Recruiter call
- Four interviews
The process took a few weeks, involved a lot of interviews, and had positive feedback after every interview, which made me believe I was getting an offer. I passed all the interviews and was told that I met the bar, but the role was cancelled. It was a major waste of time.
