      Java Microservices Developer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Holland & Barrett (London, England)

      Interview

      I had an initial phone call with the talent acquisition manager, who gave an overview of the team, the role, and skills required. He seemed a bit surprised when I told him my salary expectations, which were honestly below market rate, and much less then what I actually got elsewhere. I then had a video interview with one of the directors who went into a bit more technical detail and asked me a few informal questions about my experience. This seemed to just be a casual chat and not a formal interview. I thought this went well, and I was about to answer the majority of the questions, although some would have required me to do further research (they were quite theoretical), which I said at the time. After this interview there was absolutely no further contact. This was over 2 months ago, which is way too long for the tech industry. I didn't get the impression in the interviews that Holland & Barrett was a great place to work from a technical point of view. The problem they were solving sounded interesting, although I would worry that future work wouldn't be particularly exciting.
