      Software Engineer II Interview

      1 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Edinburgh, Scotland
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FreeAgent (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      The interview process starts off standard. HR screening, a technical exercise that you submit, then a one-hour interview to explain your thought process. If that goes well, they invite you to a final round with two separate interviews. At that point, I had a brief back and forth over email, trying to find the best time for the final interviews. Nothing unreasonable, just a simple scheduling discussion. Instead of a straightforward response, they ignored it, then later sent a rejection email citing inconsistencies in communication and adaptability. Apparently, asking about scheduling options isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a sign of deeper flaws. The actual interview performance didn’t matter. The deciding factor was whether I instinctively knew that flexibility only works one way. Companies are free to reject candidates for any reason, but this was needlessly opaque. If rescheduling isn’t an option, just say so. Instead, they let the process play out, then reframed it as my failure. If you’re looking for an interview process where success is less about skill and more about unknowingly passing an unwritten test, this is a great place to apply. Otherwise, there are better uses of your time. I'd say however that the only perks is full remote and 50k salary, which tbh the only reason I applied for, just like everyone else.
