Backend Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
As everyone else said. The process was a phone call, a take-home web crawler test, a video conference to explain what you have done for 45 minutes, and an on-site interview for 2 hours (1 hour of system design and 1 hour of general technical).
I did apply a year later again after I failed on the last round and got very positive feedback. For some reason, I didn't pass the take-home assignment, although again the feedback was good by the interviewer, proving how random and maybe a bit unjust their process can be. Give it a shot and interview. It seems a good place, but it's not much different from many other places where the interview is random, communication is bad, and treatment is poor. The colour of their card makes them stand out, but not their attitude.

If you're not on a product team and not one of the first 20 engineers, you'll struggle to progress Lack of direction from senior management. Other teams can't make up their minds but you'll be forced to chase their whims anyway Back office teams are under resourced and over worked, and do not have time to invest in improving their systems Doesn't do competitive salary reviews
