I applied online. I interviewed at Micro1 (London, England) in Nov 2024

They spam linkedin job boards with multiple generic software engineer roles but there is NO specific job and NO specific tech specific company, so I now report all of these as spam. I suspect this is just a talent platform at best and at work just poly to harvest more data to train with. You are expected to have your camera on as you are "interviewed" by an ai voice that transcribes your answers to questions. There is no natural flow you'd get with another human behind so the whole thing is unnerving, very creepy and pressured because this whole thing is timed. The 'recruitment process' is a bunch of questions related to the role and a coding task (write a function that does X to input Y). I hope this 'interview method' is never normalised.
AI Interview. Not a fan of these automated review processes. It was novel and the feedback feature was interesting but I would ultimately prefer speaking with a person as interviews are vital for assessing the person as much as the skills.
I was overqualified for the job so the ai went from easy to extremely hard after each question, so im unsure if I'll get accepted yet or it took the hard questions scores similarly to the easy ones.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you do if a Lambda went off what do you provide for the callers etc...
It was an AI interview assessment for round 1. There was a coding exercise and some questions about javascript/typescript. The interview lasted less than an hour in total. You get about 2 days from applying to complete the interview.
