I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Monzo Bank (London, England)
Interview
Took very long and then I just got ghosted about the process for the technical stage. Very unprofessional for such a big company. Would not recommend just based on this experience with them.
The interview experience overall was very positive. Standard screen call -> chat with AE manager -> take home assessment -> final interview which includes both architectural thinking and sql live debugging.
