I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England)
Interview
The process was very fast and every stage made very sense. The process started with an initial phone call with a tech recruiter to assess which role you might be more suitable (e.g. IC vs. EM), which was very helpful throughout the process and answered all my questions.
The next stage was an online pair programming interview with an engineer. This is where you are getting to work out a solution for a given problem which mostly tests on your data structure and algorithms knowledge and how you apply that.
Then, you have 3 back to back onsite interviews. First one involved two coding challenges which again tests on your data structure and algorithms knowledge and how you apply that. The next one is on your distributed system design knowledge and how you can design a system which can cope with sudden load. If you’re a backend focussed engineer, you will get this interview. The last interview was about the behavioural side, where you should be able to give answers based on experience if applicable. This part evaluates looks for evidence that shows you have the capability to work as part of a team, deliver successfully and apply creative thinking.
~2-3 days later, I received the offer.
Overall, it has been a fun process, everyone was very helpful and it was very clear that they want you to succeed! Also, all the parts of the process were very relevant to the job I was about to get into. So, it didn't feel like I wasted my time at all.
I applied online. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
Graduate so slightly different (easier) process with a recruiter call, one technical screen and one full loop (behavioural and technical). Technicals were all Leetcode medium problems with no system design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode medium on dynamic programming and greedy algorithm
It was rigorous with each round being 1 hr long starting with online test testing on difficult dsa level questions and then face on face interview with dsa round again difficult level next system design round and hr round
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Deliveroo (Hyderābād) in Jun 2025
Interview
Super long and vague process to begin with. Unclear expectations from the candidate. Wasted a lot of time before ghsoting the mid way. I saw the already shared interview experiences across the platforms and should have been more careful proceeding with them.
