Experian Software Engineer interview: timed Q&A with 60 seconds to prepare

My first step was a quick interview that felt almost like a timed question-and-answer session. There were 4 to 5 questions, and I was at a "no person" stage, so it didn't feel like a traditional conversation. I had about 60 seconds to plan each answer and roughly two minutes to deliver it.

The pacing stood out. The questions didn't leave much room to meander, so I had to organize my thoughts quickly. The timing created pressure, but the questions themselves felt manageable, and I left feeling that it had gone fine.

It ended without an offer, but I wasn't defeated by the questions themselves. I felt I had a clear sense of what speed and clarity looked like in their process.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
