Process
From start to finish, the interview process could not have been any smoother, and I highly recommend Zopa. Jamie was the star recruiter who looked after me throughout the interview process. Jamie ensured that I was up to date at all stages of the interview process. One of the greatest points I liked was the instant feedback I received after each stage of the process.
My initial call with Jamie was a casual chat where Jamie explained the role in greater detail and also Zopa's history. I felt the conversation was a two-way street where not only did Jamie get to know me as a person, but I also got to learn about Zopa's culture and values. The next couple of stages included a detailed conversation with the Director of QA, Head of Engineering, Engineering Manager, and Product Manager. Jamie was efficient in booking the call at the earliest convenient time. This was a matter of days rather than weeks.
Jamie reached out to me before the meetings to wish me luck. This is a real special touch in making me feel comfortable and be myself during my conversations. Once again, I felt really comfortable talking to Zopa's engineering teams, and I really felt that this was the place in which I wanted to work. Jamie called me after each conversation to get my feedback on how I felt it went. This level of engagement is fantastic, as I felt that the recruitment team were with me every step of the way.
After my final conversation with the engineering team, I was contacted by Jamie giving me the fantastic news that they would like to offer me the role, and without delay I accepted, as I felt Zopa is the right place for me. It was an absolutely fantastic experience for me; continue the amazing work, Jamie and recruitment team!

Zopa Work Experiences
- 1.0It used to be good but now it is pretty badSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandJune 19, 2025Pros: The compensation includes a salary and a portion of an optional bonus.Cons: You never join a team but "the company" - you will not meet your team during the interview process. Your "MBO" is bent to mould you. You must be Strong, aka Normal, to get any bonus - 50% of it. Don't even think about a higher position if you don't want to fight the red tape and drown in meetings. Company goals are pure farce - "In it together", but your bonus is mine. All new products are cut and bent and left unfinished.
- 5.0Zopa are growing and allowing for employees to growSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandNovember 16, 2023Pros: A very collaborative environment, and I find that everyone is willing to help you. There is a strong working culture and Zopa allow for a good work life balance. I find there is good transparency between teams and management. Especially that the goal and ideals of Zopa is that the end customer is always at the forefront of every decision made in the company. Zopa is very flexile and is understanding of employees needs and especially with a weekly catch up with my manager we keep in line with what is required.Cons: Pension contributions could be better, not sure of bonus as of yet.
