I asked the HR contact what type of questions/assessment the interview would consist of, and they said whiteboarding technical problems. The actual interview surprisingly was questions about my experiences instead.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
How did you and your team for this project on your resume decide on your tech stack?
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Morningstar (Londres, Angleterre) en nov. 2025
Entretien
2 hour interview with different stages:
- review of a take home technical task
- technical questions
- coding problem
- design challenge
- team fit
- questions
I didn't pass the technical part - so never got to team fit/questions stage.
But the first part felt unpleasant due to interviewers attitude.
There were 2 interviewers (Senior Software Engineers) who introduced themselves, but never given me time to introduce myself as well - I had to take initiative myself to do that.
I am not a star developer and I can understand I might have made not a very good impression, but this does not entitle interviewers to treat me without respect. In the end it's them who invited me to the interview.
Sometimes it felt like they didn't even listen to what I was answering and then telling me things as if I didn't told same things before.
