Transport for London Software Engineer interview experience

The prompts weren’t particularly hard and they mapped closely to the role description, which helped me feel like I understood what they wanted.

Each question gave me a short prep window—about 90 seconds—and then I had roughly two minutes to answer on the record. The whole thing felt straightforward in concept: concise responses, no room for me to ramble, and steady pacing.

I didn’t move forward to an offer. Even so, the process felt respectful and aligned, and the timeboxing made it clear that communication quality mattered a lot.
