Interview
I applied for the Risk Data Analyst position in March 2026. I was contacted by an HR by email and they asked me to please book a MS Teams call to discuss the role further. That was on Thursday
I booked the call on Monday next week in the time slot that was available. Unfortunately no HR showed up on the call.

Interview
Recruiter Screen followed by Technical Interview. They shared a piece of code and asked me to debug/walkthrough and explain the reason for different errors.
This was followed by questions about my current role and experience.

How do you prioritise tickets/issues?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Abound (UK) in Jul 2025
Interview
Got through 2 stages:
1. HR screening (30 min). Standard questions about my background, providing more details about the role. Had an opportunity to ask my questions. In the end of the interview the recruiter asks 3 simple questions about Python.
2. Technical interview (2 interviewers, 1 hour each). First hour was supposed to be code review one. But my interviewer messed up the time and did not show up on time. So I had live coding one first. Where I was suggested to share my screen with an open IDE and implement functions of a class.
During code review part I was suggested to review the code of a simple twitter-like application and find issues with the code. I had to share my screen again and copy-paste the code from Teams chat to my own IDE.
In the end the interviewer has asked several behavioral questions.
Request to share my screen and open an IDE was totally unexpected - as no one has given me a heads up that this will be necessary while scheduling the interview.
Overall the company seemed a bit chaotic. No proper planning and not enough respect to people's time.
