Backend Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
The process took one week.
I applied online and had the first-round interview on Google Hangouts with an engineer. I was not impressed by the questions that were asked, but the interviewer was cordial and professional. I felt the interview questions were way too academic and totally irrelevant to anything I've ever worked on.
