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

I interviewed with the team head, and it started with a general chat about the job specifics and my background.

It didn’t feel like a rapid-fire technical test right away—more like a focused conversation about fit and how my experience connected to what the team did.

Then there was one brainteaser question that was relevant to the position. The interviewer was polite throughout, and even though it was still challenging, it didn’t come off as combative. I didn’t receive an offer, but the process felt respectful and coherent, and I understood the interviewers were balancing technical thinking with how I would approach the role.
