I'm very sorry your experience of interviewing with Softwire wasn't a positive one. If I can just pick up on a few points raised above: - All our meeting/interview rooms have functioning air conditioning. If candidates are hot or cold they are welcome to ask the interviewer to adjust the temperature - All our meeting rooms come with motion sensitive light switches which are energy efficient. Your experience may have been due to a faulty sensor, but it's not something that typically happens. - There is no requirement for candidates to wait an hour whilst test results 'arrive' - they are emailed to our team instantaneously. We do however schedule a break of around 40 minutes during the day to allow candidates to have lunch. Candidates are welcome to relax in our chillout space or look around the offices / locality during this time (as I believe you did). - Our standard graduate starting salary in London is currently set at £33,000. We do however pay new hires more than that where their experience clearly merits it – and this can include those fresh out of university as well as, obviously, those with prior commercial experience - Passing our interview isn’t simply about getting through the tests to the ‘right answer’ as quickly as possible. It’s also about demonstrating a good, logical way of thinking about the problems, engaging with the interviewer positively and having a productive and interesting conversation. - I don’t think that many of our candidates would consider our tests ‘easy’. Of those that apply to us, only around one candidate in 25 will end up receiving an offer – and our primary (but not exclusive) criterion is their performance in the technical tests. Even those that we end up making an offer to invariably feel genuinely stretched by the challenge. You must be one of the very best and brightest! As I say, I’m sorry that your experience fell short of your (and our) expectations in this case. If you (or any other readers of this) would like to contact me to discuss further, please email recruit@softwire.com and mark as FAO Dan/Glassdoor.
