J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Starling (Londres, Angleterre) en févr. 2024
Entretien
The interview process at Starling had a few stages. First, they screened my CV and invited me to upload a video answering some behavioral questions. After that, I had a take-home technical test where I had to develop an API, which took a few hours.
Next, I had a technical interview where they asked some basic computer science questions and went through my take-home task with me. The final stage was a behavioral interview with a lead engineer and an HR rep. The interview was going really well with the engineer, but the HR person joined about five minutes late and didn’t seem very interested, which was a bit off-putting.
After about a week, I got a call saying they had chosen another candidate. The whole process took around 2-3 months.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
One question that stood out was when they asked me to describe a previous project from work, even though they knew I had just graduated from university. It felt a bit unexpected since I didn’t have professional experience yet, but I tried to focus on my final year project and explain how it showcased the skills they were looking for

Entretien
Applied through their website, first stage was a one way interview where you recorded yourself answering various questions. Then it was a technical challenge to build a "round-up" feature using their public API. After that it was a technical interview with two software engineers, talking about the challenge and then some more general technical questions. Not too much on previous experience, more of a focus on technical knowledge from university etc.
