Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

November 27, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

The pairing interview was really good and the people I met there were perfect. The system design interview was very amateur and unprofessional, asking about customer experiences to gather the requirements and you may end up being redirected the same question to you (the question was should the experience be immediate synchronous or async with notification is acceptable here). When I heard that I wanted to say it depends... but I swallowed it. So immature.

Questions

  • Pairing on a transaction service
  • Design a limited stock exchange service
