Senior Computer Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
I delivered the take-home task with tests and documentation. I commented about the performance, memory consumption, and other technical considerations. I realised later there was a bug, and I got discarded. It doesn't matter what your background is or what you have written and said at the interviews. The point is that there was a bug, and you are not worthy enough.

Kraken Work Experiences
- 2.0Great team, good remote culture, but very volitileSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 31, 2024Pros: - solid pay - awesome team - talented, humble, and easy to work with - fully remote with great tools and supportive culture - unlimited PTO (though they make it clear what’s “normal” to take) - interesting products with a clear vision for improvementCons: Biggest issue - a sudden mass layoff with no warning. Hundreds let go, including key people, supposedly to “speed things up” for new features. We’d just finished a reorg, and now everything’s reshuffled again, leading to chaos and low morale. Feels like everyone’s wondering if they’re next in line to get cut without much reason.
