I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in Feb 2021
Interview
Giant waste of time. After going through the entire software engineer interview process and being up front about my role and salary expectations, they offered me a role less senior than the one I am in now as well as a lower base salary than my current base salary. This is after I got a "Yes" from every interview round, including two "Strong Yes"'s from the system design round. The reason for such a bad offer? Apparently I didn't add enough unit tests to my homework exercise. So, why bother? Hours of time spent doing a homework exercise, preparing for interviews, and interviewing, and they offer me less than I currently earn. I was fully upfront about my expectations for title and salary.

I applied online. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
Graduate so slightly different (easier) process with a recruiter call, one technical screen and one full loop (behavioural and technical). Technicals were all Leetcode medium problems with no system design.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Deliveroo (Hyderābād) in June 2025
Interview
Super long and vague process to begin with. Unclear expectations from the candidate. Wasted a lot of time before ghsoting the mid way. I saw the already shared interview experiences across the platforms and should have been more careful proceeding with them.
