I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at G-Research
Interview
I had the interviews remotely. While I found the problems interesting and fun doing the interviews remotely had its challenges and it can be harder to follow the interviewer through the online platform - I went through 5 different technical interviews and slipped at the very end of the last one partly due to this despite doing well with the previous 4. Was good interview experience for sure but there's no room for error in their process which after many interviews and doing it remotely can be difficult to achieve. Know your basic computer science definitely and get warmed up solving coding problems.
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your experience with G-Research. Whilst we were not able to move you to the next stage of the interview process, we appreciate the time and effort you spent with us.
Other Software Developer interview reviews for G-Research
The interview process was thorough and well structured. It focused primarily on data structures and algorithms, and the level was broadly in line with what you would expect for a software engineering interview of this type. I cannot share specific details of the questions, but standard preparation in algorithms, data structures, problem solving, and coding under interview conditions should be sufficient. Overall, it felt rigorous but fair.
There were mostly algorithmic questions to be solved on a whiteboard. Then, after a lunch with a couple of the junior staff, the tell you whether you’re into the next round. There is also a test beforehand.
2-3 parts depending on team. Pretty in depth on topics. 2 coding rounds I believe. Interview process is fairly quick. It’s not a process that takes 3-4 weeks. 2 weeks max, 1 week if you’re really adamant.
