      Graduate Software Engineer (Enfield) Interview

      3 Dec 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Enfield, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Metaswitch (Enfield, England) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Applied through an online form, filled in a few standard recruitment competency based questions and qualification details etc. After this was successful, I was required to complete an online IQ style test. If you do well enough here, you will be invited to a day at the office in Enfield. This starts with about a 20 minute presentation on the company, followed by a series of tests and then a 1-1 interview with a software engineer to discuss test answers. (There is lunch given in between these tests!)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Firstly, I completed another IQ test, which was around 30 minutes I think. After this, there are three programming based questions, which require written answers. The first is about networks, and how you would improve an old-fashioned network. Secondly, there was a code written out on paper which I had to interpret and output several values. This was fairly hard as it's difficult to keep track of all the variables. Finally, I had to create my own code in order for a computer to play 21 against a human. Each of these questions was given around a half hour time limit. In the 1-1 interview, we went through my written answers to the tests, and discussed what I could have done better etc.
