Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
The interviewer was not prepared at all. They copy-pasted a problem statement to a shared document and answered my questions incorrectly. This led to me incorrectly understanding the problem and ultimately solving a completely different thing.
The recruiter was also unprofessional, as I haven't heard from them for approximately two months.
Questions

- 5.0Great environment, people, and techSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeTel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelOctober 25, 2016Pros: Great work environment, awesome people, and many opportunities for learning technologies in-depth. There's lots of leeway given to engineers to work on areas that they believe are important. Benefits are awesome.Cons: Hours are entirely flexible, so it is up to employees to keep their work-life balance in check. I'm at a remote site, so I will occasionally need to stay late for meetings with other places. This happens to me about once a month.
