      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 15, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Reach PLC (London, England) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      Contacted by a recruiter, applied not realising it was for Reach PLC until too late! Interview promised was meant to be a back and forth to get an understanding of the role, future projects and a rough overview of experience so thats what I prepared for. It was a memory exercise, tell me the difference between X and Y, tell me how to centre a div. I know how to build an API from scratch, from CI/CD to full TDD across multiple environments, but yes, please do ask me a CSS question I never need to remember as its a 2 second Google away. If this is how they screen engineers, no wonder they are always constantly recruiting.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 18, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Reach PLC (London, England) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      3 stages overall which were straightforward. Screening round had a chill recruiter & we just talked through my experiences in regards to the role. Got through to the interview with the tech lead and it was a light technical interview. First round - asked mostly around my experience on my cv; when i'd used certain languages/technical concepts. The next stage was a node path detection takehome exercise. I get some people's reservations towards takehome task but this task was fair. The requirements were lax & the recruiter checked in on the task progress. The final stage was an 1+ hour review with the tech lead & another developer on the team with half the time spent going over your task on a high level and asking how things could be improved and questions relating to how things work in production. I.e. logging & testing. The other half is a deeper technical q&a round based on what you've put in your CV. The final stage was not like what I thought it'd be but it was fair to base the questions around your CV + work done. I was asked around a range of technological concepts like nodejs event loop, ACID databases, REST APIs, difference between relational & non relational databases, difference between unix & linux, AWS services I'd used before. Queueing services I'd used before. Difference between AWS SNS & SQS. Pretty standard questions depending on what's been mentioned on the CV. The technical questions weren't set; they made them up as we went along depending on the task + CV. Got the news the next day, unfortunately I didn't get the role but the team said they were impressed but the other candidate was stronger. Overall good experience, the final interview was nice & conversational, some things I didn't know but I was able to bounce back in certain aspects and the lead interviewer kept a good pace. The place seems chill overall though. You get told over the phone what to expect but I wish there was a written brief to clarify expectations & refer back to as well for prep particularly for the final round but all in all great process despite not getting the role.
