      Mid-level Software Engineer Interview

      23 Apr 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gearset (Cambridge, England) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      4 stage interview process. Friendly and competent people, exceptional documentation on interview process. Detailed and prompt feedback after each stage, genuinely pleasant interview experience you will learn a lot from. - Recruiter Screen ("Informal chat") (30 minutes, Online): Basic job fit questions, admin questions, what to expect during hiring. - Technical Assessment 1 ("Telescreen") (30 minutes, Online): Basic functions, nothing too difficult, think fizzbuzz tier, they want to see how you think, not what you've memorized. - Technical Assessment 2 (2 hours, online or in-person): A more complex assessment, you'll get a skeleton and be asked to implement a spec. They want to see how you reason around the requirements and ask clarifying questions. Focus on test-driven development. Be wary of time, there is less than you think. - Behavioural Interview (2 hours, online): Basic behavioural interview questions, no trick questions. They emphasize STAR and they mean it, you must be able to point to real example situations, so recall those before you step into the interview. Feedback was helpful, accurate and actionable and helped me land other roles.
