      Software Engineer Interview

      10 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Secret Escapes in Apr 2022

      Interview

      Got contacted on hackajob and then scheduled a 1st stage interview with some members of the tech team Only after talking to the team did I found out that this was a pure grails company, and that they are interested in Java Spring boot developers to cross train them

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Just a overview of the tech used in the company. I dropped the process when I realised they don't use Java in the company

      Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you had a negative experience when interviewing with us. Whilst we take your experience in our process on board, we schedule 1st stage interviews as an exploratory conversation to determine we align to candidate expectations against the roles and projects we are recruiting for (and the tech used in our different development squads). For some of our development squads we recruit Java developers with a willingness to learn grails and appreciate our tech stack isn't everyone's cup of tea! Wish you all the best!
