Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso G-Research (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Applied via Indeed. Invited quite quickly to an assessment day.
A few other candidates present on the day. Process began with an informal presentation from a kind of VPE. He went through what the company actually does, how it's organised and a bit about the culture.
Next up, a written test. Fairly basic CS knowledge being tested with an emphasis on breadth over depth.
Tests were marked whilst we went for lunch with the grads. After lunch, we were called into a room one-by-one and were told whether we'd made the grade to continue.
We all passed the test (I think) and were assigned meeting rooms where we'd stay for the rest of the process. 4 interviews, varying massively in style and difficulty, each about 40 minutes. Exhausting, quite intense, but also quite fun.
Round off with recruiter and fairly quick response.
Invited to the final round interview - a half-hour interview with each of the group manager's to see where you'd like to work and, of course, if they'd want you. I was a bit slow to respond to the email and they (apologetically) informed that the spaces had already gone.
With the exception of chatting to the grads and recruiter, it all felt very clinical. Still though, it was an enjoyable experience overall and looks like a great place to work.

Colloquio
The interview process was thorough and well structured. It focused primarily on data structures and algorithms, and the level was broadly in line with what you would expect for a software engineering interview of this type. I cannot share specific details of the questions, but standard preparation in algorithms, data structures, problem solving, and coding under interview conditions should be sufficient. Overall, it felt rigorous but fair.
There were mostly algorithmic questions to be solved on a whiteboard. Then, after a lunch with a couple of the junior staff, the tell you whether you’re into the next round. There is also a test beforehand.

Colloquio
2-3 parts depending on team. Pretty in depth on topics. 2 coding rounds I believe. Interview process is fairly quick. It’s not a process that takes 3-4 weeks. 2 weeks max, 1 week if you’re really adamant.
