Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
I didn't have an intro call for some reason, but the recruiter was friendly and helpful.
Followed by a technical live interview, which was also of average difficulty. I had to implement a circuit breaker for two separate "services".
The test was easy enough, but I struggled given I haven't used Java in quite some time.
