      Lead Engineer Interview

      23 Jul 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Gurgaon, Haryana
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at dunnhumby

      Interview

      My interview experience with them was quite poor. The Lead Engineer role has been open for a long time, yet they continue conducting multiple interview rounds and ultimately reject candidates, which feels like a waste of time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In system design they ask to write .net middleware with proper syntax without any intellisence. In cultural fitment round they ask you to explain project architecture.
      Answer question
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at dunnhumby (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      very smooth process, interviewers were very supportive, i was interviewed for 3 rounds and all the interviewers were calm and patient throughout and even helped when i got confused, i would very much recommend to join this company as they emphasize a lot over employee satisfaction

      Question 1

      python coding, system design and sql coding

      Lead Engineer Interview

      30 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Manchester, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at dunnhumby (Manchester, England) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Initial phone conversation was good although rather odd and somewhat brief. Basically just an informal chat. Second stage of the interview was a coding test. They allowed me 2 hours to complete it. I digested the spec and asked any questions in the first 20-25 minutes. They ask you to bring in your own laptop so you’re familiar with the coding environment. Thing is, they didn’t ask me to check in any of my working out and I was writing TDD (kind of useless if you’re going to leave me alone in a room for 2 hours). I had my time extended to 3 hours as I’d used a BigDecimal to represent floats causing rounding issues. When you’re doing TDD as it takes so long to do things properly (they preferred TDD - apparently) any time lost in 2 hours will kill you.... They came in 10 minutes from the end, I was mid-refactor to get to ideal solution so unable to show all working out and there was insufficient time to demonstrate much at all. The chap who had shown me round was non-technical. I spoke to a technical person all of 5-10 minutes before they also had to leave. Also walking round the office everyone was heads down. No collaboration and there was talk of erecting barriers between teams. Not agile in the slightest! Did not give a good impression of the sort of culture I want to work in... I turned them down before receiving feedback and decided not to proceed to the next stage. Not a company for me thanks - I want to work somewhere that is collaborative and not somewhere you just pick up the next Jira ticket...

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was asked about my working out for the technical test and how I would solve it.

      We’re sorry you had a poor experience at your interview with us. We endeavour to provide people guidance and advice throughout the tests we set. We are also flexible on time, but in this case it sounds like extending the time available resulted in a scheduling issue. When this happens we typically invite the candidate back to complete the interview. If that did not happen in this case we apologise. We are growing quickly, and have taken on more space. We have collaborated with staff on the office design and adopted the approach similar to the popular Spotify model of agile teams whereby they can control their work space via sliding panels (Star Trek sounds were out of budget unfortunately). We’d be very happy to talk through our plans and philosophy with candidates.
