Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cardiff, United Kingdom
Process
A straightforward, grown-up process without silly steps that waste the time of more senior and experienced candidates.
It was thorough, but not convoluted.
I didn’t follow through to the final stage because I received an offer that was impossible to compete with. However, I was very impressed with the people I met and the kind of questions and discussions. It felt meaningful, rather than a pointlessly prescriptive and regimented thing.
