      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 28, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Zelenograd
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Skype (Zelenograd) in Jul 2013

      Interview

      I was reached by recruiter in LinkedIn. Interviewing process started with a programming puzzle from HR specialist. She needed to see the exact answer, not how you think. After solving the puzzle I went through 2 one-to-one interviews with Software Engineers using Skype. The first interview was mostly technical, while the second was focusing more on the attitude to software development in a team. There should be on-site interview with the whole team, but I was told that the job was withdrawn due to some internal reasons. Nevertheless I had a nice time preparing in going through the interview.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Skype (London, England) in Aug 2013

      Interview

      Contacted via a recruiter from linked in, went through a very long chat with him and then offered an interview for what the recruiter said was a c# job, got to the interview and although all the questions were about c#(which I answered) I was told that this job absolutely also required php, I got no feedback for about a month and then I was told they had another interview for me that was an even better fit, had an interview with the snr hiring manager (Microsoft) the interview went really well and I answered every question, at the end the interviewer actually told me that it had gone very well and I should definately come back for a final interview, after three weeks of no feedback I asked the girl from HR got one missed call from her and never heard anything since, very disappointing.
