      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      26 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newcastle upon Tyne, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Opencast (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      It started with the first round based on reference from a friend. They said we cannot give senior position as you do not drive pair programming which is not a good reason to reject for designation according to me, as I needed the job I said yes for mid level. I was told that I will be tested on a programming language which I do not know, again strange but I said ok. And then one day before the second round I get an email that they have cancelled the interview which is again weird. Had a very bad experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you drive Pair programming interviews? Do you know TDD ?

      Thanks for your review and feedback. I'm sorry your interview experience hasn't been as we'd have hoped. We understand the time and effort that goes into preparing for an interview, and as a recruitment team we always try our best to provide as much transparency and feedback regarding current vacancies, and the potential changes that can occur in our hiring demands. We work collaboratively with consultants and Practice Leads to create technical job specifications, interview questions and exercises that align with the skills required for each role – I have taken your feedback on board and will look at how improvements can be made moving forward. If you’d be open to it, we’d be more than happy to have a conversation and discuss your feedback in more detail, as we are always looking to continue to improve our recruitment processes. You can contact me via email: lorna.madden@opencastsoftware.com Kind regards, Lorna

      Senior Software Developer Interview

      3 Apr 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Newcastle upon Tyne, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Opencast (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      First had an informal conversation with the recruiter who went through what I currently do. First round of interview was a technical exercise where I had to do some pair programming. Mine was in Scala . Second round was to find out whether I would be a good fit for the company and some technical based questions. Process was good and very straightforward
