Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
April 4, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took over a week.
- Initial phone screener: A casual conversation that asked about reasons for looking for a job and what I would bring to the role. We chatted about the history of Zopa and their product roadmap.
- Final update: It lasted 30 minutes on a Friday afternoon. I got a real email back from the recruiter on Monday, stating my requirement for fully remote work could not be accommodated, even though it was a flexible position.
Questions
Are you willing to spend a minimum of 3 days in the London office per week?

Pros: I work with great people in a great environment. I have not encountered any office politics.
Cons: Pension contributions are low, and the yearly pay rise is low despite working hard. Moving to hybrid mode, 2 days in the office soon, makes it less flexible now.
