Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Process

Worst company to interview for. Recruiters don't respond to emails, and there's no coordination between them. You usually have to pass an HR phone interview before being invited for the final round of on-site interviews.

I have passed three HR interviews (in consecutive years) but have never gotten the chance to reach the final round because the recruiters simply didn't get back to me, no matter how many times I insisted. I also know friends who were supposed to fly to a Microsoft office for the final round, but they never received their plane tickets.

In Eastern Europe, I understand that they interview a batch of candidates at a time, so you either make it into that batch or never hear from them again.
