      Software Engineer Interview

      13 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Axon (London, England) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      An initial call with a HR person, followed by some technical glitches (re-requesting my CV?), then they booked in four(!?) interviews across two days as I was already progressing with other roles. All of the interviews were with people in the US and none would be on my team. Two were technical with live coding and involved two different versions of the same basic problem. The guys were nice and I nailed the problems (they said so themselves) but they'd clearly been pulled in a few minutes before; they left <5 minutes at the end for any questions and didn't know anything about the role or team I'd be working with. The other two were softer skills interviews with managers. They asked about value i'd brought in other roles, challenges I'd faced, etc. I was warned they wanted answers phrased in a specific way and one of them was quite condescending and unpleasant, but I worked through it. After two intense days they said a decision would take about two weeks, then blanked me for a month before finally declining with no feedback. I found it interesting they'd slam me with interviews when it suited them but then ghost when it didn't. I'll be honest, it was a sea a red flags. When I probed the technical devs about working there they seemed downtrodden and overworked, with one admitting it felt like there was never enough time to get things done. The managerial interviews were quite unpleasant and condescending and somewhat rigid in thinking. If they'd offered the job I would have declined.

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Axon (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      1hr - screen with Hiring Manager. C# .NET Questions. 4x 1hr technical interview. Leetcode style rounds Some behavioral questions sprinkled in the rounds. Interview lasted around a couple weeks. Most of the engineers were pretty chill. The Hiring manager seemed more effective and less emotive.

      Easy interview

      I interviewed at Axon

      Interview

      Hands down worst experience I ever had interviewing. The whole process is 3 rounds but you have to do all 3 in a row before they give you results. The interviewers for 2 of the rounds didn't show up at all and I had to reschedule. When one show up for the second time, he was very unapologetic and extremely unprofessional and rude. He's a director there so that tells you all about the company. Recruiter very hard to reach as well. All coding interviews very easy and even the good-to-haves were easy but still didn't get the offer. Communicated throughout as well. So not even sure what their criteria is.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Axon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026

      Interview

      Round 1 — AI Behavioral Screening An automated AI bot round asking questions about your background and experience. No coding involved — purely behavioral. Treat it seriously as it's a real filter before moving forward. Round 2 — LeetCode Style Coding Round A standard technical coding round with algorithm and data structure problems. Be comfortable with your DSA fundamentals. Round 3 — Online Coding Assessment A timed coding assessment administered through an online platform. Similar to Round 2 but in a structured, proctored format. Practice working under time pressure. Round 4 — Behavioral Round with Engineering Director (Virtual) This is Axon's ACE behavioral round, conducted by a director-level engineering leader. Follows Axon's ACE values framework — expect deep STAR-style questions around ownership, cross-team collaboration, technical decision-making, and initiative. They will drill multiple levels deep on anything on your resume, so know your projects cold including the business context behind every decision. Don't treat this like a standard behavioral interview. Round 5 — Onsite (Seattle, In-Person) Final round in Seattle with senior engineering leadership. Behavioral in nature, focused on role fit, career trajectory, communication, values alignment, and AI readiness. More conversational than Round 4 but still rigorous. Come with a clear narrative on your career arc and genuine, specific reasons for wanting to join Axon.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take feedback like this seriously, and we’re sorry to hear that your interview process did not meet the standard we aim to provide. What you described - missed interviews, difficulty reaching the recruiting team, and an unprofessional interaction - is not representative of how we expect our teams to operate. We are actively reviewing this feedback internally to address gaps in scheduling, communication, and interviewer conduct. Regarding interview outcomes, we evaluate candidates across multiple dimensions beyond technical performance, including collaboration, problem-solving approach, and alignment with role requirements. That said, we recognize that a lack of clarity can be frustrating, and we are working to improve how we communicate expectations and decisions throughout the process. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and wish you the best in your continued search.
