      Programmer Manager Interview

      14 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Busuu (London, England) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Quick process. Took less than a week from when I applied to when I received an email saying they moved on with other candidates. I received the first email early in the morning asking to choose a slot for the interview. I chose the slot at 4.30 in the afternoon the same day. When I hadn't received a confirmation by 3pm, I wrote the interviewer to ask for a confirmation. She said she couldn't make it to 4.30 but we could do 5pm. She was ten minutes late to that interview and this lack of time-management demotivated me a little. The interviewer spent a good ten minutes describing the company. (As supposed to ask me what I know about it, which would have saved us some time as I had done my research). I also found some of the questions a bit silly like the ones below. It's impossible, and a waste of time in my opinion, to use precious interviewing time to be asked to guess what kind of projects I'd be managing if granted the position. It's always difficult to deliver in an interview when an interviewer seems unsure about how to execute a specific role. I also had a feeling she hadn't properly read my CV as she asked a question about how my previous position is relevant to this role. (It necessarily isn't, but the role I had before that before that was). Tips to interviewer/company: Practice time-management, come prepared, study applicants CV, don't use precious time describing the company. Don't ask questions about how a person can fit in, tell him or her how you think they can fit in based on having read about that persons experience. If you don't know exactly how the role you are interviewing people for works- study it prior talking to candidates. I didn't get an offer and I received an email about this the day after the interview. I'm rating the experience as positive as the process was very fast but I do think the company has a few areas of improvement when interviewing. It's good when it's fast but not so great when it feels rushed.
