Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online and had a talk with the recruiter. I was then given an online test on HackerRank, which I did not complete on time.
I believe the time given to complete the challenge was too short.
I would have performed much better with a real person conducting the interview.

Great Managers, Some Tech Debt
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
April 19, 2025
Pros: The company has a great culture. Most teams have good work-life balance with limited on-call responsibilities. I've had several managers, and every single one listens to me and cares about me and my teammates. The remote work is also very nice.
Cons: My team does not suffer from this, but I've seen some teams struggle with tech debt because their management and PM does not want to take time to prioritize it. To an extent, this is on the ICs for not advocating for this well enough, but this becomes a problem for both future ICs and the productivity of the company at large.
