Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
The interview process involved multiple phone screens and an online shared-screen coding test.
This was followed by on-site interviews that lasted all morning. I did not proceed to the afternoon session, which I understood would be conducted by VC from their head office in New York.
Most people seemed nice, apart from one interviewer who wouldn't make eye contact and spoke only in a monotone.
Questions
I expected and prepared for data structures and algorithms questions, but was actually asked about Korn Shell and Postgres.
No OCaml in the interview process, which surprised me.
