Really responsive and efficient HR team, with a clear four stage interview process.
The first stage is an HR screening call. The second is a coding interview focused on basic programming skills. The third is a data science interview where you build and implement a machine learning model while explaining your approach. The final stage is a culture interview.
Overall, the technical interviews are not especially difficult. I would recommend reviewing the fundamentals and practising training a few machine learning models from start to finish while explaining each step of your reasoning out loud.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Abound (UK) (London Colney, England) in Apr 2025
