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

I had a compact process with an easy HackerRank start and then a single-day set of interviews covering coding, system design, and behavioral.

HackerRank coding challenge — I completed a coding challenge.
Conversational project interview (45 minutes) — I had a 45-minute discussion centered on a tech project.
Final: all-in-one-day technical + behavioral — I completed one day with two technical rounds (coding and system design) and a behavioral interview. Outcome: No offer, and my takeaway was that the final day mixes depth across technical and communication signals.
