      Software Engineer-III Interview

      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (London, England) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      I had 3 rounds of Interview in total. 1st Round - Talent Acquisition HR - General questions to test the fit for the role, company culture and values, salary expectation, location preference (in my case it was Oxford). 2nd Round - Technical Interview for 45 mins - Covered questions from my past experience. I found most of the questions were follow up on what you say. So, be sure to talk only things that you have worked on. 3rd Round - Coding Interview with two interviewers - 1st question was debugging an incorrect java web service program & 2nd question was to program a simple javascript frontend coding task Overall, good experience through out the interview process. People who I met were very friendly and engaging. I got an offer from Elsevier, however I got 2 other offers from London with a higher salary. So, had to decline the offer.
