      Web Engineer Interview

      Aug 30, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Monzo Bank (London, England) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      Applied through website. Whole process was remote. Received email asking for availability for an initial 30 minute interview. First interview (video call) with another web engineer. Pretty casual chat with some questions but felt pretty conversational. Received another email asking for availability for a second 1hr technical test. Second interview - technical test to go through a small simple project and make comments on the code as though you were reviewing an MR. Received third email saying I’d got through to the final round which is a ‘behavioural test’ but that I could book a call with the (I think internal) recruiter to go through what would be asked in the interview. Call with recruiter turns out to actually be an opportunity to find out what the lowest salary you’ll take is along with some general recruiter type questions like what is your notice period. Some vague topics that may be covered in the behavioural interview are given along with advice to answer the questions using the STAR method. I should also note that the starting salary for the role miraculously dropped 5k from what was initially advertised on the website at this point which I felt was a little deceptive more than half way through the process. Fourth video call now for the behavioural interview. Pretty open ended questions like tell me about a time when… etc. Received an email with what looks to be a pretty stock rejection response that they had decided to choose a different candidate with a promise to send more detailed feedback and a questionnaire about the experience but have not received either. Whole process took 1 and a half months mainly due to the gaps between the many interviews. I also thought the whole process felt a little one way, apart from the initial call the rest of the interviews felt much less conversational which can be quite intimidating when you’re on the spot.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Monzo Bank in Apr 2025

      Interview

      I will preface this by saying the interview process was well built. Coding rounds were very real-life based and fair and interviewers were all lovely and pleasant. It was around 4 stages, an initial call, then a chat with two engineers, followed by a pairing session on reviewing a codebase. After that, the final set of interviews were based around system design and behaviours. It took Monzo around 2 - 3 weeks to give me an answer on if I'd passed. They finally replied telling me I had passed their process, but would not be offered a job at the current time due to the role no longer being opened. The lead recruiter at the time made a deal with me to wait a few months and then take the next open position for the same role, however this led to a multi month chase, whereby he left his role, got replaced with a new lead recruiter, who acknowledged the process on an email chain and phone call but then went radio silent. It's a real shame as I was very impressed with the recruiters and the company as a whole, but messing people about who spent lots of time interviewing and prepping gave the vibe of somewhere that wasn't well organized.

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Monzo Bank (London, England) in May 2023

      Interview

      Really nice pleasant process. It was 3 parts : 1) Initial chat with EM 2) React coding challenge 3) Systems design The initial chat was a gauge on experience. The coding challenge was nice and straightforward. If you know React well enough, you'd be fine with this. No tricks, and interactive pairing (rather than those horrible ones where they just stare at you down a camera). The systems design was really nice too. Really open ended and plenty of fun discussion about how you'd build a very common scenario. Brush up on your architecture and tooling choices, but it's nothing too deep. Still very high level.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Fix coding bugs as if you were reviewing the code. Design a system (common) and discuss how you would implement it.
