I applied online. I interviewed at Experian (Nottingham, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Four interview stages, I got to the final round after a take home assignment where I discussed with two leads and a hiring manager.
I never heard back from them after. The role was back on the market for over a month. I sent emails to the recruiter and the hiring manager a few times, all of which was ignored. Its so terrible that such a huge and popular company cannot afford to treat interviewees right buy giving simple feedback especially after such a long interview process. I will never be applying to such a company again.
I had a meeting with the hiring manager who seemed pleasant but the team lead had an off putting demeanour, maybe he did not want to be at the interview - he should have taken note to rememebr that he represents the company. If I as an interviewer showed up looking grumpy and put off, the interviewers would have mad eit short, present yourself the way you want interviewees to present themselves.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had a hiring manager interview and a technical coding take home.
The hm interview asked of my past experiences, my experiences with the required tech stack.
1. Phone call with recruiter
2. Online interview with manager
3. Technical interview with team members
Phone call was absurd. Interviewer was talking like machine - super fast, couldn't interrupt for questions, connection was breaking.
Second interview - interviewer was late for the interview and was not fully aware what the team does and what technologythey use. (For comparison they said one thing, and on the next interview team said completely different thing)
Technical interview was ok - team members were nice, questions were relevant. I got a bit confused with the task they wanted to discuss, it was for concurrency, but something very specific.
What left me with bad impression was that they were interviewing with me through different stages, but keep reposting the job listing for the exact same team like every other day.
