Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

November 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

The process was not as fast as I expected. However, the process was only 3 steps.

  • Initial call: A 60-minute call. A poor codebase shared over video call and a career review. Reviewing the code was not well prepared, and I had to ask the interviewer to switch files and scroll.
  • Team meeting call: A 60-minute call focused on culture and competencies. I have received very positive feedback for all my interviews, but in the end, I was considered as overqualified.

Questions

A poor code base was shared over a video call, and I had to point out the issues in it.

As the job was fully remote, async working seems to be an important part of it.
