Process
Extremely practical and technically focused.
Process involves:
- 1 take-home test
- 1 proctored test
This is followed by a very relaxed technical interview with engineers, involving questions about each of the two tests.
It finishes off with a brief managerial interview. In my experience, the managers had technical backgrounds, and this involved much less corporate nonsense than usual.
Questions
Talk us through a technical project you worked on in the past that you believe best represents your suitability for this role.
