I got in through a referral.

I had one phone screen with simple behavioral and motivational questions, one HackerRank challenge (75 minutes), and one technical phone interview. The HackerRank challenge was pretty large and not feasible in the time frame, but that was not the goal behind it. The technical phone interview was really easy and focused on coding style.

Then I was invited onsite. The trip was well-organized and the stay in London very convenient. I did three technical interviews before lunch (problem decomposition, technical question, coding question). They were all advanced but not too difficult. The interviewers gave hints, and the atmosphere was nice.

After lunch, I had a hiring interview with two Hiring Managers. It included 30 minutes of behavioral questions and one technical question.

I was really happy with the whole process. Unfortunately, I was rejected. Interestingly, they were really happy with my technical skills but didn't like some answers to the behavioral questions.

Examples include:

• Not good enough reflection on older projects
• Lack of motivation for the company

I don't understand this, because I talked a lot about my motivation (which was real!) and about different projects. So, I don't know what to change on that end. But it's interesting to know that they put such an emphasis on that.
