Question 1
Can you describe a time when you improved the performance or scalability of a software application, and what steps you took to achieve it?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
3 rounds: HR screen, Pair programming & behavioural panel with senior engineers. Pair programming was with a staff engineer, behavioural was with Engineering Managers in the same product group. Behavioural was the most interesting as they all had varying backgrounds and valued my non-traditional background
