I went from an HR conversation into a LeetCode-style debugging exercise through an external recruiter. After I passed it, I spoke with HR again before a problem-solving-heavy onsite. The onsite included a customer-facing problem, two coding challenges, and a final leads chat about culture, motivation, how I think, and the role I wanted to grow into. I was constantly on, and the customer discussion stood out because I had to make technical work understandable.

After the final stage, the recruiter said there would be no offer and gave little follow-up. Months later, I was told they no longer needed a software engineer and that I had succeeded in the interviews. That delay was the most frustrating part, although it did clarify that my interview performance was not the reason.

Location: London, England. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
