      Software Engineer Interview

      21 Mar 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PortSwigger

      Interview

      The process consisted of a take-home technical assessment to evaluate practical skills, followed by a video call to discuss overall experience. Successful candidates were then invited to an on-site interview day, which included multiple rounds covering technical ability, problem-solving, and team fit.

      Interview

      big take- home that they don't give you enough details about. if you're going to take that much of my already jam-packed with projects and interviews time, the least you can do be less cryptic about your expectations

      Software Developer Interview

      22 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Knutsford, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PortSwigger (Knutsford, England)

      Interview

      Pretty classic behavioural and technical interview stages. Starts with a very easy code review where you have to point out some mistakes. You really have to know your Java, and would be good to research company culture to better answer fit related questions

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      (Context based) Why may this value not have updated? (Pass by value v.s. Pass by reference in Java)
