      Anonymous employee
      Bristol, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Graphcore (Bristol, England) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Applied early November 2025. 2 stage process, with a 30 minute telephone interview in December, and final half day interview in February. The initial interview was a classic CV, cover letter review situation. (Talk about your experience, background etc.) Final interview was in 4 parts: technical product test interview, project presentation, quality team interview, and an informal chat with current graduate scheme employees.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Manufacturing terms: what does yield mean? Why would you do multi stage testing? Difference between structural and functional testing. - Electronics: potential divider circuit analysis. Point out and identify different aspects of the graphcore ‘blade’ circuit board. - Programming: python function analysis. - Presentation: Give a 15 minute presentation on a project you have completed. Effect of model simplifications. Why do you want to work at graphcore? - Quality: what does quality mean to you? Give a good/bad example of quality. How to cultivate a culture of quality in an organisation? What is the harshest piece of criticism you have received and how did you handle it? Example of handling conflict in a team.
