      Software Engineer Interview

      27 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brighton, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cogapp (Brighton, England) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Initial phone screen involved a problem solving exercise over the phone with a senior software engineer. I was given an algorithmic problem, and asked to talk through how I would solve the problem, and dictating the code I would use to do so. I found dictating code over the phone very difficult, not having been told that the phone screen would involve this beforehand, otherwise I would have had a pen/paper or laptop to hand to write something out (a lot more familiar to me than speaking programming language syntax out loud). It was pretty excruitating to be honest, and not a positive experience for me at all.
