      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      4 Feb 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BAE Systems in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Initial telephone screening interview from a non-withheld number. Very relaxed and friendly chat tone, and highly informative, so I didn't have to ask any questions. I emphasised honesty in all responses as I aimed to express my core values. Progressed onto next stage - no offer quite yet.

      Interview questions [7]

      Question 1

      What is your current salary (if you're comfortable sharing) - and does it come with any additional benefits?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What are your salary expectations?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      (Indirectly) Would you absolutely require your asking salary or would you consider a lower salary as part of a benefits package?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      Which of the sites is closest for you to commute to - or would you require a relocation package?
      Answer question

      Question 5

      What is your notice period?
      Answer question

      Question 6

      Do you have any holidays this month? (to ascertain when an interview can happen, assuming success)
