Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Russia
Process
I was invited to apply by a recruiter in Russia. Although I wasn't interested, I decided to try as the company offered potential relocation to London.
At the first stage, they sent me a technical assignment, which was time-consuming. It took me about two weekends, with partial development during weekdays.
A few days later, they invited me for a technical interview, without giving any guidance on what to expect. It started with a coding exercise on multithreading, then a series of "how-to" questions regarding UI/Table examples from their app, etc.
I didn't go further after this stage, with only dummy feedback from the recruiter.
It's disappointing that they didn't provide me any feedback regarding my task. I guess they didn't even properly review it, as for many asked questions, they could have found answers in the code. I believe this is not respectful.
At the bottom line, my advice is to ask for the interview first, and then do a test task only if they initially liked you.
