First round involved a coding exercise. It took around 4-5 hours to complete. 2 weeks later, I was given a telephone interview that covered various Java technical questions such as collections, threading, Java syntax etc. There was no probing questions. I either knew the answer or didn't. The interview lasted around 30 minutes. A few days later, I was invited for a face to face interview at their London offices. The first part of the interview was almost an exact repeat of the technical questions I was asked over the phone in the previous interview. So I felt the first part was a waste of time. The second part of the interview was still technical focused, but they asked questions about how I work in a team and how I deal with difficult situations. Examples include "What features do you consider production quality code to have?" and "Would you follow TDD (test driven development) if the client imposed a tight deadline"? What stuck me after the interview was the difference in the way the company presents itself and its people and the people who work there. Reading the website, I would have thought employees would be extroverts, certainly sociable and fun. However, I got the impression they were more introvert and quieter than me. They may have sweets inside reception and a pool table, but I bet no-one ever eats the sweets or plays pool! I was also left surprised with the lack of organisation. I'm sure a 5 minute conversation between the 2 guys who interviewed me in the first part of the face to face interview would have saved half an hour.
