I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at NCR Corporation
Interview
- First round: Technical interview (online) which is a call with a pannel of software engineers of varying seniority.
- Second (last) round: A systems/technical interview which is an in-person with a pannel of software engineers of varying seniority.
Overall, very poor candidate experience:
- Took 6 months to get reuimbursed for travel expenses.
- NCR typically books accommodation for candidates, and so accommodation requirements, length of stay, etc.. were discussed weeks in advance. However, the day before the interview (as agreed) I arrived at the location and no accomodation was booked, so I had to book my own accommodation (despite numerous emails outlining NCR would do so). This was very disorganisaed.
Salary offered was £20K-£27K, very low for a software engineer, in my opinion.

Interview
HR interview, Tech&Personal interview
The interviewer asked to come to the office(tough public transportation area) for the interview, but interviewer was online because he is in a different country. After interview, there is no tour or meeting team. I don't know why he asked to come over.
Also I couldn't hear result from them after interview even though I sent follow up emails to interviewers and hr recuiter.
The interview process included a written assessment with a few programming questions in various languages (the role was full stack) and a few personality questions. After that I was called to have a meeting with some Engineers to discuss my answers. They liked my performance, and the next day I was called by their HR with a verbal offer. I counter offered with a slightly higher salary and they said they'd consider it. I got ghosted, and only got a rejection a month later (the interview process until then only took 3-4 days)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to make a simple counter using javascript, and a leetcode easy question.
In-person hiring manager screen followed by leetcode style coding questions. Once passing the leetcode, there was a final in-person interview. The leetcode question was on the average difficulty side and was better than the typical algorithm question.
