Software Engineer Summer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
It consisted first of a job simulator.
After this, I entered the next stage, which involved answering interview questions via a HireVue-style format.
The interview was awful. There was only one attempt to record your response, which started immediately after 30 seconds. There was no rerecord option.
