Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Barnett Waddingham
Colloquio
Had a Microsoft Teams interview with the Software Development Lead and TA Advisor. They were both very friendly and easy to talk to and made me feel very relaxed. They asked good questions for me to be able to express myself and answered my questions about what its like to work at the company
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Why I chose the education path I did? Why I wanted a career within tech?
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Barnett Waddingham (Amersham, England) nel mese di mar 2020
Colloquio
The interview process is a 1 hour live coding interview, where the candidate is asked to implement some functionality for an exististing piece of software, followed by a face-to-face-interview.
There are several reasons as to why I have rated this a negative experience:
1. The coding interview is in a programming language that they pick(*).
2. The coding challenge is something you'd see given to a mid-level software developer.
3. The coding challenge is poorly written.
4. The interviewer was 15 minutes late.
5. The were several occasions where an e-mail was sent to me by accident or was responded to late.
* If you don't know the language, too bad!
I did not hesistate to withdraw from the interview. Your time is better spent elsewhere, at a company that takes its hiring process more seriously.
