Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and accepted an interview. However, the recruiter proceeded to ask me personal questions, such as, "What would you do if you were completely backed by Palantir?"
They also asked about my preferred position. I had heard that most roles in London were FDE, but I stated my interest was solely in an SWE position.
After about a week, they informed me that they had no suitable positions available.
