Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

July 26, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started with a three-hour online coding test, which consisted of two algorithm questions. This was followed within a few days by a phone call with an internal recruiter. A few days later, there was a pair-programming test with an engineer in NYC via phone and screen share. This session also included a brief round of what seemed like arbitrarily selected, but standard, computer science questions.

The final in-person (F2F) day consisted of a morning of technical interviews, which included problem-solving on a MacBook. This was followed by lunch with a couple of employees.

After lunch, I was abruptly informed by an engineer I hadn't met that I hadn't quite made the cut and was asked to leave the building. No explanation was given at the time, and no feedback has been received since. I was effectively ghosted from that point onward.

This had been a fairly positive experience up until the end. However, having invested a significant amount of time and effort into the process, I found it incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional to not at least provide some basic feedback in return.
