Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

September 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process lasted about 1.5 months, consisting of the following stages:

  • Screening (call)
  • Hiring manager (call)
  • PR task (async)
  • PR task review (call)
  • Hiring manager (call)

There was nothing particularly special about it. The hiring manager calls were high-level technical/behavioral discussions, and the PR review required live coding on the task you had prepared.

Overall, I found the experience rather disappointing. There were long gaps between scheduling the stages, during which I received no news. I never got any feedback, apart from the generic rejection email, despite completing the process and explicitly asking for it.

In fact, I don't believe I ever received any sort of personalized response throughout the process. I would only get updates after repeatedly requesting them, and only by means of meeting invites.

Apart from that, and with the exception of the last HM call, I didn't meet people from the teams I was interested in and applied for, despite being told I would in my initial call.

It turned out to be a huge waste of time. I don't even know whether they were hiring for any particular position or simply shopping around.

Questions
