      Software Engineer II Interview

      Jan 26, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Oxford, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Elsevier (Oxford, England) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      The entire interview process was impeccable, and it really gave me a great impression of the company from the very first contact. From the very first phone call, they always made sure to keep me up to date with what was going on; I never had to chase anyone for anything, as they always gave me a very clear timeline for their responses, which they always respected. Overall, the process was very straightforward; there was a technical test, a math/logic test, and some behavioural questions. These were all reasonable, and they have been incredibly friendly and helpful in answering any question I had prior to each step. There was not even a single issue throughout the process, and everyone I communicated with was professional and friendly, especially the internal recruiter that I had the pleasure to work with; he was constantly available to answer all of my questions, and made me always feel like I was 100% aware of what was going on.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Simple math problems and logic questions, such as "rotate this image by 90 degrees clockwise, flip it vertically, then horizontally, then rotate it by 90 degrees counter clockwise. What does it look like?"
