      Python Web Developer Interview

      Mar 12, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Sheffield, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FISC (Sheffield, England) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      So many red flags here: * The company purports to be a web development firm, but conducts screening by having candidates fill in a MS Word document, to be returned by email. * Despite applying for a Python role, I was sent a technical test - in the form of a Google drive archive - with clear instructions to fill in the Javascript section. I filled in the Javascript section, sent it back, and was then sent an irritable email telling me to go back and fill in the Python section. * I had two Google Meet interviews: as another candidate has described, the interviewer had clearly not read my CV/GitHub/LinkedIn/etc, and was rude and dismissive throughout both. * The interviewer took every opportunity, in both interviews, to denigrate my skills and experience. * The interviewer took visible pleasure in upbraiding me over my apparent ignorance on an obscure technical question. I looked up this question after the interview, to find that I was right and he was wrong. I pointed this out in an email, only to get - I should have seen this coming - a rude and dismissive response. I would echo another candidate's sentiment that I dodged a bullet here.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical test: Fizzbuzz, non-unique list elements, password strength. Nothing too difficult. Interview: Expect some fairly searching questions about the intricacies of Python, Git, Javascript, Linux networking and HTTP.
