London, EnglandPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process was fairly comprehensive and took multiple rounds that covered both DSA-style coding and bigger-picture evaluation.

Even though the technical pieces were the headline, the recruiter and manager interactions carried real weight in how everything was assessed. I focused on getting the core algorithm reasoning right during the DSA rounds and then switching gears for system design. I ultimately received an offer, and the overall experience felt like they were looking for consistent thinking
