Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied via Indeed. Invited quite quickly to an assessment day.

A few other candidates present on the day. Process began with an informal presentation from a kind of VPE. He went through what the company actually does, how it's organised and a bit about the culture.

Next up, a written test. Fairly basic CS knowledge being tested with an emphasis on breadth over depth.

Tests were marked whilst we went for lunch with the grads. After lunch, we were called into a room one-by-one and were told whether we'd made the grade to continue.

We all passed the test (I think) and were assigned meeting rooms where we'd stay for the rest of the process. 4 interviews, varying massively in style and difficulty, each about 40 minutes. Exhausting, quite intense, but also quite fun.

Round off with recruiter and fairly quick response.

Invited to the final round interview - a half-hour interview with each of the group managers to see where you'd like to work and, of course, if they'd want you. I was a bit slow to respond to the email and they (apologetically) informed that the spaces had already gone.

With the exception of chatting to the grads and recruiter, it all felt very clinical. Still though, it was an enjoyable experience overall and looks like a great place to work.
