Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

October 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Pretty standard: phone screen, then an onsite, and optional follow-ups.

The major dealbreaker is what happens after the interviews. Your application supposedly gets messed up in bureaucracy, where even the recruiters have little visibility.

It's been a month since my onsite, and I still haven't heard back from them. The recruiters are nice, but there's only so much they can do to speed up the red tape.

I was finally told by my recruiter that they still don't have any end to the timeline in sight and suggested I pursue other offers.

For a company that prides itself on moving fast, this experience felt hella short.
