      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 14, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Londres, Inglaterra
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      1 stage was take-home assessment - code is available on their github organization along with the task - that was fairly easy and took a day to complete, got review feedback in 2 days (But didn't agree with that review feedback though) Got into second stage that was 2 video interviews - Depth of expertise for 1 hour & Cultural discussion for 1 hour. Before those 2, quick 15 minutes prep was arranged by Skyscanner with their recruiter to explain what is expected from me during the calls + got document with details on what should be covered. It felt like during the depth of expertise interviewers were more interested in hearing particular key words rather than my idea behind the project and how I approached it - got interrupted multiple times without telling what's the expectation if the current topic wan't it. Cultural discussion part was great and covered talking about how you measure success / resolve conflicts / how you prepare projects After 2 days got feedback and information that they will not proceed further with the process, got a call with feedback from recruiter - not enough detail provided during the interview. It seemed like tech part of the interview was done to fill position with some exact match to their tech stack / team, in contradiction how it was advertised from the beginning. After some questions / feedback I was also under impression that recruiter didn't spend time checking the CV.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Edimburgo, Escocia

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Edimburgo, Escocia) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Very pleasant interview process. It is a 3 step process, the first part speaking about a project you've worked on. Then followed by 2 back to back interviews: a system design interview and a culture fit. You don't interview with anyone with the team throughout the whole process. But I believe they give you the chance to speak to the manager of the team if they make an offer. There was no programming exercise which I found refreshing and nice.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Describe a system you've worked on in detail
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Design a price alert system
      Answer question

      Question 3

      A time you gave and received feedback, and how you actioned it. A time where you put the customer first
