I applied online after reading a blog post and watching a tech video. I had been a customer of Monzo for a bit and loved the app and the card. There was a huge delay between applying and getting a response. Then there was another delay before the initial phone call with the CTO. After the initial phone call, there was a take-home coding challenge which you present over a Google Hangouts call.

After that, there is an in-office interview with a systems design component, a general tech interview, and a cultural fit interview. Apart from the length of time it took to start and continue the process, the interviews were very pleasant and well constructed.

Could you describe the architecture of a system you know well, as if to a junior engineer or a new member of the team?

What drives you as an engineer? What do you get most out of your work?

How would you find out if someone were a good engineer?
