Colloquio
I applied online and the process took about 2 weeks. They called me within a few days of applying to set up a 15 minute HR phone call. These were questions like how I got started in computer science. Then they set up an onsite interview. Three people interviewed me. Two were technical and the last one was behavioral. The questions were very simple. They asked some basic data structure and time complexity questions and then asked for me to code the merge function and a factorial function.

Colloquio
I asked the HR contact what type of questions/assessment the interview would consist of, and they said whiteboarding technical problems. The actual interview surprisingly was questions about my experiences instead.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Morningstar (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di nov 2025
Colloquio
2 hour interview with different stages:
- review of a take home technical task
- technical questions
- coding problem
- design challenge
- team fit
- questions
I didn't pass the technical part - so never got to team fit/questions stage.
But the first part felt unpleasant due to interviewers attitude.
There were 2 interviewers (Senior Software Engineers) who introduced themselves, but never given me time to introduce myself as well - I had to take initiative myself to do that.
I am not a star developer and I can understand I might have made not a very good impression, but this does not entitle interviewers to treat me without respect. In the end it's them who invited me to the interview.
Sometimes it felt like they didn't even listen to what I was answering and then telling me things as if I didn't told same things before.
