Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

The first round was a 3-hour-long pair programming interview. You need to write code from scratch with a library they provide for 1.5 hours. Then the other half of the interview will focus on the sequence diagrams and the API designing part.
The second round was a one-hour technical Q&A interview with senior engineers. This mostly focuses on system design and APIs.
The third round was a code review round. They will provide a block of code and you need to review it by adding comments.

They have a specific way of working, and it will work out well if you also follow the same way. Their culture doesn't seem to be inclusive and open-minded. They always take the "My way or the highway" approach. So, they won't like it if you disagree with their opinions during the interviews. It is better to stay away from such a working culture.

Questions

Write a Spring application from scratch, design APIs, and implement them.
General system design questions and microservices.
Code review.

Software Developer • Current Employee

London, England

Pros: It used to be the free breakfast.

Cons: Majority, if not all, 5 star ratings are definitely fake, it's quite obvious and sad. There might be some good people but they're probably thinking of leaving. If you're happy to work for a company that does not care about your development, your opinion or in general for you as an employee, feel free to apply, remuneration and benefits will be basic. - there is no HR - just constant interim - literally left because of high turnover - there are no benefits - management that's unprofessional and genuinely lacking experience - just titles - product vision is severely lacking that's why competition is doing way better - again, inexperienced management - negative and constant pressure environment disguised into 'that's how start ups are' - CEO has clearly said if 'you don't like it here, you can leave' in open meetings - low pay - super high turnover - either hire&fire or people just leave after a few months Side note - During the start of the pandemic only higher management was allowed to work from home and that just says everything.
