J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Morningstar
Entretien
It was a lengthy process. 4.5 hour code assessment, multiple stages to interview and multiple interviewers. I did not mind the length of the interviews (although the assessment was a tad long imo). My main issue was the amount of time it took for them to get back to me and give me the offer. It took over a whole month. That is just too long. I got another offer in the interim (the other company offered the job within 1 week...) and took that job instead. It left a sour taste in my mouth at such a long delay. Aside from that, most interviewers seemed like nice people to work with and seemed like a decent place to work at.

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.
