I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Quantexa (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Starts with a phone call with someone from HR to introduce yourself to the company. Then a coding assessment follows. They take into account that scala is not a langauge you may know, so dont worry about getting everything 100% correct. Feedback is given from the engineering team. A 2 hour final interview is then scheduled which inculdes more in depth feedback of the coding assessment. The 2 hours may seem daunting at first, but its easy to use up all of the allocated time. You get to ask the interviewers questions anyhting regarding the company, their work progression, and their personal experience. Overall I found the process was structred and I was able to ask my person from HR any questions. She made this process as smooth as possible.

Question 1
They initially have two start dates, one in July and one in September. They ask your preference, though they are currently going through internal changes that may remove the September start date
There are three steps in the interview process: a phone call, a technical coding assessment, and a final interview. The phone call typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. The assessment with Scala is scheduled for 7 days from now.

Interview
I received an email and had a call with Sumayyah, who was my point of contact throughout the whole process. During the call we talked about my experience and why I applied for the position and I got to learn more about the company and the program. That same day I received a coding challenge which was to be done on Scala, which you are not expected to have any prior experience with. I got a week to submit the challenge and Sumayyah was flexible and offered me more time if needed. A few days after I submitted the coding challenge I got an email that I have made it to the final interview. The final interview was a couple weeks later. I had to create a presentation on a technical project I had worked on prior to the interview. The interview was two hours long where we reviewed my resume, I presented my project and answered questions, then went over my coding challenge and finally answer a business case study. There was then time for any questions I had. My interviewers were super nice and welcoming. My point of contact, Sumayyah, was also awesome and answered any questions that I had during the whole interview process. Once I got the offer, Sumayyah assured me that the program was a great fit for me and instilled confidence in me.

Interview
The interview process was seamless. I have never had such a positive and great interview process! Sumayyah communicated everything to me effectively and made the interview process easy to understand. I can only imagine the high volume of applicants the company have and still I was made to feel important and valued throughout the whole process even before the outcome was given. A 3 stage interview felt daunting at first but really it actually was the best experience I have had interviewing for a role. At each stage feedback was given and again it was clear to understand and thorough. It’s like no other experience!
