Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
It was very impersonal and difficult.
As a neurodivergent person, no accommodations were offered, and it seemed like the whole setup was aiming for your failure.
The experience left me feeling very stressed and discouraged. There was no real interest from the company to actually get to know you as a candidate.
Questions
Just assessments, no questions to actually get to know you as a person, which speaks a lot about the company.
You have three assessments:
- A coding challenge
- A data structures assessment
- A mental ability assessment
