Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
First, there was recruiter screening with very general questions. This was followed by a coding interview. I stopped after the coding interview because some of my questions about the company and the team I would be working on hadn't been answered. The hiring process structure didn't really allow for these questions to be fairly addressed.
Questions
Too many LeetCode questions in the coding interview. It did not feel like we were discussing a real scenario, which both the interviewer and I were aware of. It felt like a joke.
