Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Two absolutely lovely phone screens with low-level programming questions and a few coding exercises. After that - a phone screen with the manager, who happened to be not in the mood at all, was pushy and then gave feedback of me being rude. That was surprising, but okay, here is my review with advice of not spending time on this company.
Questions
The process included a HackerRank coding test and OS-level questions.
