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.
Asked basic behavior questions that any company could ask and the technical interview went left because the interviewers didn't understand the company's technology themselves. After that, they didn't even call or email to let me know I didn't get the position.
