      Software Engineer Interview

      14 Feb 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Edinburgh, Scotland
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I didn't want to write a review, because I was mad for so long, but I guess someone, especially Skyscanner, can benefit from this feedback. I've had interviews with big 4 companies (which Skyscanner is kinda trying to copy IMO) and if you expect as much as big 4 companies and pay much less, you should at least try harder with the recruiting process. Main problems: - inititial interview was robotic and impersonal, the recruiter was reading questions from a script and writing down my answers without even looking at me. At this point I was already pissed off, but decided to continue the process anyway. - assessment centre: I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Comparing again to other interviews I've had, recruiters usually tell you what sort of questions to prepare for - algorithms and data structures, trivia questions, system design, domain-specific problems. Not at Skyscanner! You are left in the dark. I was prepared for something completely different, which caused me great stress and in the end, I didn't do so well. - another minor, but very unpleasant experience was that in one of the group interviews, I was the only girl in my group and that usually doesn't bother me, but oh boy, this time was exceptional. The atmosphere was super competitive and every time I tried to suggest something, I was interrupted by someone, dismissing my ideas. The moderator was looking at his phone all the time, seeming super bored. I started panicking that I will get a negative assessment because I wasn't allowed to say anything, so to be finally heard and show what I know, I almost had to raise my voice and tell people to shut up & let me finish. Not a situation I enjoy to be in. The classical gender bias problem I guess, and it's not exactly the company's fault, but that shouldn't happen at an interview. However, I did well on this part, despite the fact it felt terrible. Overall I'm left with a very bad taste in my mouth and I doubt I will be applying again.

      Wonderful experience, I can tell them what I truly want. Hope to join the team and do what I want to do. The interviewer is so kind, allows me to think longer when I don’t know how to answer questions.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Skyscanner in Apr 2026

      Interview

      I interviewed with Skyscanner. The HR process was professional and well-organized. Communication was clear, and I appreciated that they offered to provide feedback afterward. The technical interview, however, was disappointing. The interviewer was not very communicative and didn’t provide much clarification when I asked questions about the task, which made the process feel less collaborative than expected. I implemented a working solution during the interview, focusing on correctness and efficiency. While it may have had minor syntax issues or missed some edge cases due to time pressure, it addressed the problem. At the end, I was surprised when the interviewer suggested that I might have copied the solution. This felt unexpected and unfair, especially in a live coding setting where the thought process is visible.

      Question 1

      There were two coding problems: the first was easy, and the second was a graph problem.
