Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a second phone interview because I could not solve the problem at the first interview, but I implemented it very well. At the second interview, I missed one restriction, and my interviewer didn't warn me. I guess he also missed it while I was implementing. One week later, my recruiter said my code couldn't solve one restriction and that, because of that, I failed.
