I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Quadrature (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Ping by a recruiter over several years. Came on-site for a meeting with a senior engineering lead, and had an enjoyable discussion about their tech stack and my background. A few days later there was a single tech interview, two-on-one, that started with a simple problem statement and continued with ever shifting requirements. Engaging enough, but no clarity about what they were looking for (tolerance for being messed around by non-technical people). Overall disappointing experience, judged by a single nebulous interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was an NDA so I can't disclose too much. The interview had one main question, with moving requirements. It wouldn't strain you in any programming language. They didn't care about performance or edge cases. I was expecting something that would require deep performance optimization / discussion, there was interest in that at all. They just wanted to keep shifting the parameters of the problem.
It was good, interviewers are nice and respectful. held online and onsite for later stage, typical software questions, not too difficult in my opinion. read up on data structure and algorithm

Interview
First step was a phone screen with a recruiter. Generally this seemed to go pretty well. Bit of a dive into your CV and the role and whether or not you're a fit based off experience.
Second round was a technical round to implement something at a high level - not leetcodey at all. You don't ever execute the code.
The interviewers are very sharp, they will not miss anything, and are particular when it comes to big-O analysis. Make sure you know it well. I had a few miscommunications with the interviewer here and I think it cost me?
Anyway, then you get ghosted. As another review said - radio silence for 3 weeks. I sent a follow up email after 2 weeks, never got anything back.
I'd have taken a rejection email with some feedback happily, but yeah. Not that kind of company apparently - which is interesting considering they approached me to interview.
