Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
The interview had four rounds:1. 1st round was an hour long - 30 minutes of computer science fundamentals, followed by 30 minutes of pair programming in the language of my choice.2. 2nd round was two hours long - an hour of solving an algorithmic task (not too difficult), followed by an hour of solving a software architecture task with emphasis on OOP.3. 3rd round was an hour long and featured a high-level system design task (can't exactly remember which task but I believe it was designing a chat system).4. 4th round was a non-technical talk about my goals and motivations with the manager of the team I had been matched with.
