London, EnglandPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first round felt easy and straightforward: they used a screen tool and asked me to write some code.

After that, a second round was scheduled, but it got canceled shortly after.

The cancellation message said they wouldn’t proceed further, and it honestly felt like a waste of time. What made it worse for me was that the interviewer didn’t seem connected to the actual role I’d applied for, which made the whole interaction feel detached.

I never progressed beyond that point, so the overall outcome was disappointing, but the biggest frustration came from how abruptly the process ended and how little it seemed to align with the job itself.
