I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
It was one of the best interview experience for me
Recruiter was friendly and actually rooting for your success. Interviewers were knowledgeable, very professional and interesting to connect with. But the best thing about the interview was timely and detailed feedbacks between the interviews and at the end too
There were total of 5 rounds (excluding recruiter screening)
- Tech Screening [ELIMINATION ROUND] : It was chat about my past projects, why i took an approach for a project and some quick technical questions around that
- Assignment Round [ELIMINATION ROUND]: Got a regression task to be completed in 24 - 48 hours
Got feedback on first 2 rounds
ONSITE
ML theory round : This was the round i got the no in. I have mentioned few of the questions asked in Q/A section.
ML practical round: It was more like a case study round where i was asked how would i help CRM team in detecting fraudulent tickets raised by customers.
Behavioural and Business Acumen Round: Again i have mentioned major theme of questions in Q/A section and as the name goes this round revolves around behavioural aspects and its just my hypothesis but this round also plays a role in determining which role level you will be end up getting offer for.
I haven't mentioned much about rounds here as Deliveroo has done a brilliant job in mentioned about it on their website.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
It was meant to be in three stages but I didnt pass the first stage as the interviewer felt he didnt get enough signal during the interview. The first stage used to be just project discussion but python and engineering questions have now been added which was not communicated to me prior to the interview. I mentioned that to the interviewer who apologised but still evaluates my responses.
