Csoc Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Initial recruiter discussion followed by technical, then analytical, then hiring manager then HR values interview (all separate) along with a take home test.
I did the technical one which I got good feedback from and had the next interview scheduled for a few hours later. I got an email 2 hours prior saying it needs to be cancelled and rescheduled due to “something coming up”. I was then ghosted for a week (emailed and called to no answer) and then got a call saying they pulled the role due to lack of budget. Poor communication considering the effort involved.

- 1.0Avoid avoid avoidSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, United KingdomNovember 16, 2025Pros: The usual benefits that most mid-size companies offer. Nothing special.Cons: Toxic startup hustle-culture wrapped in big-megacorp bureaucracy and politics. Forced into office just to sit on Zoom meetings and talk on Slack. Management dump responsibility on engineers without giving the tools or authority to do anything about it. Everything is broken or on fire, they fire entire teams and pretend nothing happened.
