I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

• Initial 30-minute introductory phone call with HR, where I was asked a bit about my resume, some behavioural questions, why I wanted to work at Quantexa, and given an overview of the next steps.
• Coding assignment using Spark and Scala. They give you approximately a week to complete this assignment, including the time it takes you to learn Scala if you're new to the language, or to brush up on it. Half of the questions were straightforward for me, but the other half were much more challenging.
• Final interview with two Quantexans, around 2 hours long. They first went over my resume and asked me some questions related to my past experience. Then I gave my presentation on a technical project I completed at school, as you are given time before the interview to prepare the presentation. Be prepared to answer questions while giving the presentation, and the interviewers gave feedback at the end on what they liked and what you can improve. Then there is a review of the coding assignment you submitted. Be prepared to clearly explain your logic around how you obtained your answer, and if one answer wasn't necessarily the right answer, but close, be prepared to be guided through the solution and think of the steps you'd take on the spot. After that, there was a business case study that simulates what you'd be working on at Quantexa. This was honestly my favourite part of the interview. Finally, I was given a chance at the end to ask the interviewers questions about the company.

Overall it was a very enjoyable and thorough interview process.
