      Software Engineer Interview

      4 Apr 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Schibsted (London, England) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      I have been contacted by internal recruiter. He organised a phone call with an engineer. The first phone screen interview took about 1h. Basic algorithm questions. After that I have been given a coding test to solve at home. I finally have been invited for a 4+ hours back to back interviews with no breaks. Unfortunately the experience has been very disappointing. Interviewers clearly did not look at the CV before meeting me and asked very similar questions. They didn't make me an offer, and I don't really care about that. What really disappointed me is that I did not receive any feedback from anybody (positive or negative) and only after having chased a few times the recruiter I have been told that they froze the hiring process. Would have been nicer and more respectful to let people know or at least provide a valuable feedback since they wasted 2 full days.

After spending many days solving the coding a design assignments, I was told that the position was cancelled , frustrating.
