Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks.
Friendly and supportive interviewer. He presented a problem and allowed me to write a solution in a language of my choice. Then he added complications and I iterated on the code. I didn't have to run any code—he said it was just to see how I think and look for clean code, etc.
