      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      11 Jul 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wave (London, England) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Passed first round, then did the 3 hour take home test. It was to build a spreadsheet inside the terminal which I thought was a strange test for a Front end React role. Completed and submitted the test. A week later I received an email advising I had failed the test with no feedback. This is a very poor experience as I know I passed the test. I won't be recommending this company to others.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write a spreadsheet program inside the terminal

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wave (Barcelona) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      CV + Cover Letter, 30min initial HR screening, 2h take home exercise (very fun!), 2h live continuation of the previous exercise, 1h system design, 1h previous project deep dive, 1h cultural fit interview. Very thorough but fair process. Everyone involved was very warm, pleasant, and dedicated. Made me want to work there even more!

      Question 1

      System design problem tailored to one of the projects I would be working on.
