Junior Software Developer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

March 1, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Three stages, all on video call, one after the other, taking around 3 hours. These were with different people from different teams, as I wasn't being recruited for a specific team. Instead, a successful candidate would be aligned with a team after being offered a job.

Questions

They asked about large-scale system design and how one would design an API system, considering scalability, reliability, etc.
