Backend Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
Within two weeks of my initial application, I was through to their on-site final stage. It was fast, and I was happy with the communication between the company and me during the process. The first step was an initial video interview followed by a take-home assignment. After this, I had a technical review of the assignment with another engineer. From here, I was asked for an on-site interview. I'm a recent graduate, and I made this clear during the process. However, in the end, I didn't receive an offer due to my lack of specific commercial experience. Everyone was nice, and I felt that the interviews went well. I'd like to apply again in the future as I think their work is extremely interesting.
