      Software Engineer, Backend Interview

      27 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Monzo Bank

      Interview

      1. HR/Technical Developer took the interview (which's awesome), to get understanding of tech abilities of candidate at high level) discussed about scaling, microservices, circuit breakers etc.. based on conversation. 2. Offline Coding Round (Crawler) 3. Discussion about the solution (1H) Why some design decisions are made in a way, understanding about the nuances of the code, eg: goroutines, changes 4. Technical Interview (networking, OS, Security) (included Job managers internal, HTTPS, how does packets reach destination, security, encryption etc) The expectation set for the interview was to understand the thought process. 5. Face to Face interview (in office) - Since i'm from different country. Really loved the interview process, and could see how technically monzo excels at. they've > 500 microservices running on container based tech, with interesting problems to solve. The sad part is i couldn't get any feedback about the interview after they didn't move forward for the last round F2F. I've put in so much time, and effort, though they're open about the process, they should understand that feedbacks are valuable to the candidates, and ensure that it happens in both directions.

      Backend Software Engineer Interview

      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Monzo Bank

      Interview

      Monzo lay out their hiring process clearly in their comms with applicants and back it up with some great blog posts that genuinely do set you up to succeed. The process is friendly, flexible and grounded in real-world challenges, so there was no need to cram binary-tree backflips just to pass interviews for a role that didn't need them.
