- Half hour call with the recruiter - Technical screening (leetcode) type interview with their provider Karat. This had a few questions around tech, productionisation, testing etc and then a few leetcode exercises which were actually super relevant and fun (rather than having to traverse a binary tree or other BS comp sci algos you'll never have to actually do in your day to day life...) - Hour-long system design interview - Hour-long behavioural interview - Take-home exercise (around 3 hours of work) - Pairing interview with staff engineer As opposed to having these all smushed together into one big session, Roo let me space these out over a few weeks so it was less intense. Everyone that I spoke to was super lovely and made me feel very safe and comfortable during the whole process. It felt very *human*, rather than when I've interviewed at some of the other Big Tech companies. The recruiter I was speaking to works in a different timezone to myself, but really went out of his way to be contactable through the process and was quick to answer any questions I had. Overall I actually really enjoyed the process. The technical screening with karat was also really enjoyable, and the leetcode type question they asked seemed relevant to the job.

I had only initial HR interview call, where we discussed my experience, their expectations for the role, etc. Dropped after HR screen after they told salary ranges. Deliveroo doesnt provide RSUs so total compensation is very small. Decided to save each other time.
