Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

April 6, 2014

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview consisted of four one-on-one interviews. These were mostly technical, with members of the team I was looking to join.

The technical questions were not particularly in-depth and mostly focused on my ability to solve a problem by writing code on a whiteboard.

I felt the one-on-one nature hurt the interview process a bit. A more experienced interviewer would have been helpful for their less experienced interviewers.

Questions

Write code to reproduce a pattern written on the board.

Leadership is a joke

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Very good work-life balance.

Cons: Twitch leadership is extremely political, especially in the product organization. We have no product vision other than to iterate on the current product. We haven’t shipped anything ambitious in the last two years since our CPO arrived. Also, our CPO hasn’t added any product talent to the company. We just do reorg after reorg and reset everything that people are working on, but it never goes anywhere.
