Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Phone screen:
The usual myopic LeetCode-style question, which the modern tech interview has degenerated into. Hiring by chance.
Practical experience - who cares? Curiosity - unimportant. Personality fit - irrelevant. Interests and aspirations - doesn't matter.
Instead, solve this question from leetcode.com in 45 minutes with no hints or bugs. Only geniuses need apply, and then you better hope it's your lucky day.
I didn't make it through to the onsite.
