Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

April 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Approached by an agent.

Codility online test, which was about 90 minutes long with three tests.

  • Two algorithm tests, which were not difficult.
  • The other one was a quite trivial programming test. It was not difficult, but it was not easy to get the requirements right.

After the test, it took about one week for them to call back with some questions about the test itself and some general technical questions.

After another week, there was an onsite interview. It consisted of three rounds with two people each.

  • The 1st round seemed to be with a junior developer asking very basic questions and requiring coding on paper.
  • The 2nd round was with a senior developer, who asked more general technical questions, mostly about previous projects.
  • The 3rd round was with managers (I think), and mostly involved soft skill questions.

Although I felt generally positive about my performance in the interview, in the end, there was no offer and no feedback. It was a nice place to do the interview, though.
