      Software Engineer Interview

      18 Sept 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Metaswitch (London, England) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      Assessment centre; standard hackerrank questions, asked to reproduce TCP/IP but in a convoluted obscure question. Simple quiz would have been better. What does the DF bit mean? What is the difference between an IP and TCP packet?

      Reproduce TCP/IP protocol using this builder game.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Metaswitch

      Interview

      The interview process involves going through a day of tests for which you dont get told what they are. One was a high IQ test (to justify their arrogance) One was a verbal reasoning One was a basic code review challenge Then there was an interview with a developer. He told me that I would want to work in finance, when finance was not even on my CV! He seemed upset he didnt work in finance. He was very aggressive and lacked social skills at the same time. Noticeably the office was VERY MALE which was very off putting. All the women seemed to have low level admin jobs which was VERY OFFPUTTING. Seem to have a fascination with maths grads. The lady from HR phoned me after to tell me that they had rejected a PhD Physics graduate from Oxford recently for not passing the hiring bar. She delighted into telling me this.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you want to work in finance? High IQ test (because they are very special) No CS questions
