Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

Process
The interview process is very bad. First, they ask to take an online test, which is more like a brain teaser and IQ test. I think it discriminates against dyslexic people. Then the recruiters will call and ask some questions about your goals. They can easily reject your application without going through any technical interview.
