I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deliveroo
Interview
A lazy leetcode question that had nothing to do with the role.
A 15 year old who sits and does leetcode/topcoder in their bedroom all day could do this; but that's not engineering.
Was told there would be a systems design interview but never had one.

Question 1
Move something to another thing in another thing bla bla bla
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deliveroo (Dublino, Dublino) in Jun 2021
Interview
Karat coding interview solve a set of increasing complexity problems and optimise. Not given much time to complete the problem and the instructions while clear were not communicated clearly. The instructor did not show up on time and I got passed off to another instructor, which was off putting. All in all could have been more friendly and given more time to complete the problem or at least tackle the problem with some assistance from the instructor
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deliveroo (Londra, Inghilterra) in May 2021
Interview
The process was long, like 2 months.
First the is a quick chat with a HR (the girl that I end up with was very nice), then you should do an interview with an external company specialised in screening interview call Karat, this was quite annoying because they were more focused on getting the code compile that understand what you are doing.
With them you have an hour interview: 5 theoretical questions and an "code a solution" part.
If you pass it you have a home assignment (it's easy, it should take up to 3 hours) and a pair programming interview of an hour to discussing it.
At this point you should have a "cultural fit" interview and a "system design" one, they are straightforward and everyone was very nice with me, it was more a discussion between equals than an interview.
HR was always nice even if I talk to 2-3 different people during the process.
I declined the office because there were 2-3 red flags of "not professional" things that bother me, the notice period I think it's crazy (1 month during probation and 3 months after that), but it was a good salary package. they offer benefits too, even if they're not paying for them but they offer me to take them out to my gross salary to pay less taxes.

Question 1
They are doing the typical type of questions about algorithm and cultural stuff, nothing outside the normal, HR should provide you a leaflet for the cultural one with their values
