Software Design Engineer (Video) Interview

May 14, 2015

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Neutral experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Imagination Technologies (Kings Langley, England) in Jan 2014

Interview

First you will do a phone call and then an online C test. It is annoying and does not proof any good knowledge of C, however managers know that (but still keep it because they're probably lazy to look for something better) and even if you fail it you can pass to the next step. Then you will be invited to a face to face interview, which is really easy.

No offer

Positive experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Imagination Technologies (Kings Langley, England) in Sep 2013

Interview

I was initially contacted by a recruitment agency, who after an initial talk sent me a set of online tests which I passed, I had a phone interview afterwards with the leader which I also passed, and a few days later I went to their offices for the final interview. I thought it was a very interesting place, the interviewers were extremely knowledgeable.
