Fun with challenging pseudocode problems.
Visited their office twice which seemed a bit unnecessary as they were not reimbursing for travel.
The interviewers were very understanding when working through problems.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Quantexa (London, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process took approximately 4 weeks and has 4 steps:
1- Call with the HR team to talk about your background, motivations and what you know about Quantexa.
2- Technical call interview with a Solutions Architect.
3- To do by your own: Assignment with 3 scala exercices.
4- Presentation of a project you'd made in the past and some questions regarding the Scala assignment.
The process in general requires you a bit of time to complete all the assignments. However, I found it really challenging and rewarding to complete them.
