      Software Engineer Interview

      26 Jun 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Popsa (London, England) in May 2023

      Interview

      I applied online through the company's careers page. The process was well organised and took about 3 weeks from start to finish. The communication with the HR team was seamless, and they were prompt in keeping me informed at every step. Initially I had a video call with a HR manager. He asked about what I was looking for in my next role. Then I was given a take home task that tool about 2 hours to complete. About a week later I was invited in for a technical interview with a lead engineer and an engineering manager. This took about 2 hours. Initially we discussed the task I had completed at home, I was asked about how I could improve certain parts. Then we did a whiteboard task, designing a system to process millions of photos. The conversation was constructive and positive and felt like I would enjoy working with this company. After this, I had a chat with a founder which I really enjoyed. I was able to ask questions about the Popsa and really got a sense of the vision.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Popsa

      Interview

      Initial call with the internal recruiter, then a take-home assignment. Following that had a chat with 2 engineers to discuss my solution and a chat with the CTO. Everything went well at every stage. They liked my solution, we had a productive conversation and they didn't raise any critical issues at any point in the interview. They didn't make an offer eventually which is perfectly fine, but one would expect at least a world of feedback. They didn't say anything intelligible to me or the recruiter. So I will have to agree with the other reviews that in the end, they were a bit disrespectful of the candidate in light of the effort one puts in.

      Question 1

      System design and many questions about my solution.

      Application

      I interviewed at Popsa

      Interview

      A process that was quite disrespectful to the candidate. A 4 hour take home test after an underwhelming and waffly 45 minute chat. Responses to other candidates’ reviews speak volumes about the company’s respect for candidates’ time and efforts. I definitely regret engaging with the process.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your interview experience with Popsa. I apologise that your experience was not as positive as we would have hoped, and I’m sincerely sorry that you felt disrespected during the process. We understand that participating in an interview, especially when it involves taking tests, requires time and effort. We value all of our candidates and their dedication to the application process. It is never our intention to make anyone feel that their time is not being respected. We are always looking for ways to improve our interview process and make it more candidate-friendly. Your feedback regarding the length of the take-home test and the initial chat is valuable and will be taken into consideration as we evaluate and make improvements to our hiring process. Once again, I apologise for any frustration or disappointment you experienced. If you have any additional feedback or suggestions on how we can improve, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at tom.cohen@popsa.com. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
