Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

December 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process is opaque and never-ending.

In addition to numerous phone calls with their internal recruiter, I have had:

  • Phone interview
  • Code Review take-home challenge
  • Pair Programming interview
  • Systems Design technical challenge
  • Three interviews with engineering managers

The technical challenges were fairly hard, but enjoyable and practical rather than theoretical, which is nice.

However, the actual 'formal' interview round was quite dry, with lots of mundane, typical interview questions. These questions, if anything, actually limited the time available to talk about my experiences.

I have no idea why that round needed to happen three times with so many different people.

It felt quite demanding of my time, and it's hard to sound engaged and enthusiastic by the sixth or seventh time of repeating the same information.

Questions

Typical bland questions.

Example: Name a time you did something challenging.
