Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
I applied online in November.
Two weeks later, I was contacted by a recruiter. She arranged a phone interview another two weeks later.
The phone interview was very smooth. We didn't talk about my background but directly dived into problems. The first question was about strings and arrays. The second one was a recursion problem.
Then I was invited to an onsite interview for 4 rounds. In the first round, I was asked about my background and went through my resume.
Definitely prepare for graph algorithms.
