Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
Got interviewed by Ukrainian HR, she was just reading questions from a list and tried to finish the interview as fast as possible, didn't engage in conversation at all. It was like talking to a robot, seemed like another candidate already accepted an offer in the meantime but she had to finish the job still.

The people are very honest. Great colleagues. There's an opportunity to have an impact in whatever you want; it's up to you to decide where your responsibilities end. Most of the projects are challenging and fun. You and your team will prioritize and decide what to do each quarter. It's very team-oriented, with a lot of amazing people.Cons: Salaries for Software Engineers are below average for a Fintech; the value added by the engineering work deserves better compensation. Not for you if you just want somebody to tell you what to do/build.
