Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso G-Research nel mese di nov 2022

I wasn't expecting much from this company after all the negative reviews I read on Glassdoor. I didn't pass one of the harder interview rounds. I would rate most of the challenges below average and not reflective of candidates capabilities. Result is highly dependent on who will interview you, same as in other companies. They do provide feedback which is great as it will allow you to improve. Although on surface it may seem the company is using modern technologies, I would highly recommend to ask many questions to find out more as devil is in the details. Ask not only what source control management system they use, but also how many repositories they have for the part you would be working on, if they use microservices for the part you would be working on, how long does build take, what technologies you would be working with, if there are any proprietary ones, what kind of cloud they use, how do they tackle technical debt, how does security affect daily work. Interview is not meant to be a one way discussion. Based on answers I got and negative reviews here I wouldn't have joined G-Research anyway. It is one of very few companies on my list I definitely won't be applying to again in the future. There may be people for whom G-Research may be a good fit but it definitely isn't me.

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.

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.
