Hi, I'm thinking of applying to Monzo, but I don't know what is their interview process and difficulty level of questions they tend to ask for SWE bsckend roles ? I'm expecting LC medium/hard given they are a growing startup still and need really good engineers #monzo TC 98k£ YOE 2.5
Take home assignment will be to develop a web crawler. There Engineers are pretty smart and fun to talk to.
Home assignments ? That's interesting. What are they looking for ? Object oriented design skills ?
Lot of things. Concurrency, Design etc. They ask you to justify what you did and what you could have done better. Then compare to rest of the candidates. It depends on the effort you invested and the previous skills you had on building crawlers.
Great TC-why move out?
It's low compared to what FANG offers at my experience level. At L4 at FB or G I'd be making 30% more easily, but that's not a primary reason even though london is very expensive and tax is steep. Mostly want new challenges and faster career growth. If TC takes a slight hit, is fine for couple of early years as long as growth is justified
you will take a paycut at monzo
do you envision monzo to be better in terms of career growth and learning new skills? I would have thought Bloomberg would already pretty solid in that regards. Of course, I never worked there so wouldn't know, but would be interested to hear your opinion on this.
Depends on team imo. I feel at Bloomberg career progression and TC is very slow and low respectively. I've know a couple of teams even worse than mine. So I thought atleast can think about Monzo, a fast growing company along with FANG to switch to
What did you end up doing OP? I am trying to find alternatives to F/G in London - share if you did any research
