      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      1 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gigaton (London, England)

      Interview

      After an intiial call with the recruiter the main part was a 3 hour long interview - 1st hour pair programming, 2nd System design and 3rd Operating principles interview that all had to be done together. I did well on stage 1 and 3, not amazingly on the 2nd, and spent half of my day off from work to be able to do this, I didn't even get a rejection email. That's right I got ghosted. Red flag if you ask me don't waste your time with companies that don't treat candidates very well. I rate it negative because if one has to spend their day off to do a 3 hour long live interview and doesn't even get feedback to help them improve it's pointless and a waste of resources. There are hundreds of companies out there that I could have been interviewing with on that day. I also messaged the recruiter after a few weeks to ask and she ghosted me as well!

      This isn't good enough and I’m gutted this happened to you. It’s not the way we want to treat people. This is Bronte, the people manager, writing here. We take pride in ensuring we communicate clearly, provide feedback and give the best possible experience, even when a candidate isn’t the right fit. Without passing blame, we expected the recruiter to pass on the feedback, but that’s obviously no excuse for the experience you had. I’m very sorry this happened. If you’d like to speak further, please reach out to myself or Bob, our CTO, and we’d be very happy to share additional feedback. Again, our apologies.
