Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

  • Initial call: I was approached by a recruiter and scheduled an initial call. I was asked a few questions about my experience, and the recruiter gave me a general overview of the company. I also had time to ask questions.
  • Video call: This was with an engineer. We had a very good conversation, went through my CV, and he explained the technologies they are using. Again, I had the chance to ask questions before ending the interview.
  • Technical test: This is where things went wrong. The technical test is very ambiguous, is missing information, and the test cases are not consistent. In a normal situation, you would clarify, ask questions, and make sure that you understand the requirements. But usually, candidates are working full-time and interviewing with other companies, so we can't invest all of our free time sending back-and-forth emails to get all the missing information or clarify requirements. After submitting the technical test, the feedback they gave me was that they liked my solution, but they wouldn't be progressing forward with my application because I missed one of the requirements.
