Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
Initial call with HR. After that, a pair programming session – fairly friendly. After that, a technical round digging into your past work experience for 45 minutes, and then a system design task for 45 minutes.
I wish they would give me feedback for the system design round. I really thought I had cleared the system design round, but I haven't, and I haven't got a clear reason why.
Questions
Pair programming - currency conversion.
System design - regarding transfers which kind of utilizes the above currency conversion. Every question was related to what the company does.
