I'm sure not all of you guys are like this but I applied for the Graduate R&D Financial Software Development Engineer program a couple months back in your London office and the telephone interview went great but the face-to-face interviews were an absolute farce.

Prior to the face to face interviews, I confirmed Java as my language of choice (simply because I knew my C knowledge was little and wasn't up to scratch at the time and was told that Java would be absolutely fine for the interview) but the first pair of face to face interviewers insisted on C based questions (i'd only had a little bit of C experience) which was nerve wracking.

The icing on the cake was during my second face to face interview session on the same day, whilst answering the primary programming question, my interviewer decided it would be more appropriate to check his work email on his phone rather than listen to me talk and go through the problem (again in C where I tripped up slightly on malloc'ing memory but managed to solve with a bit of umming and ahhing in the end). It wasn't even a quick glance, he spent most of the time I took to work on the problem checking his email. I'm still not sure what to make of this because personally to me this was probably the most unprofessional/rudest thing that's ever happened to me at an interview. I wouldn't even dare to pull out my phone during an interview and I expect the interviewer to have the same courtesy unless it's an emergency.

It was a decent experience and your offices (at least in London) are lovely but if you are looking for C/C++ specific graduate developers/engineers then that should've been made clear.
