It was a qualitative interview with one technical at the end. Two rounds of two interviewers who asked behavioral questions. One person asked an easy technical. The other three asked for stories.
It was a hard-core technical interview. I was being asked for more than 8 technical questions.
The interviewer looks a little bit tired.
It is not a very good interview experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jefferies (London, England) in Dec 2024
