Interviewing is a two way process.
Rejecting someone for unknown reasons without providing feedback as to why, I think is a poor way to conduct the process. I appreciate it takes time and effort, but the time and effort has already been taken on the interviewers part to discern that a canditate is not suitable for "x" reasons, the time and effort contributed by the interviewee should be acknowledged as such and feedback should be given especially when asked.
It takes literal minutes for that feedback to be passed along to a hiring manager and then to the rejected applicant. Not doing so encourages applicants to not re-apply in the future even if they have filled in the missing skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk me through a time you had to work on a complex problem and how did you solve that problem?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lendable (UK) (London, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
Initial screening call followed by a take-home coding test. The test was not difficult takes around 2-3h to complete with tests. Then you move on to a final interview going over the solution and some ways of working on related questions. Initially I shared my salary expectations but there was some backchanneling with the recruiter to offer significantly less than initially discussed. Dont share your current salary as it will influence their offer decisions
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lendable (UK) in Nov 2024
Interview
It is a 3-stage interview process. I had the first-stage with their HR manager and then was sent a tech-test to complete in my own time. I worked for some time on it and made sure that everything worked. I even provided a docker for them to run, which I'm sure they didn't bother to use. Part of their feedback was that I had some poor coding practices that would've cause the unit-tests not to work. I spent several days working on it and had it peer reviewed by a work colleague. Do they really think I would send in my code solution without having first run the unit-tests and the demo!??
