The hiring process at Katalyze Data takes an average of 14 days when considering 6 user submitted interviews across all job titles.

There was a simple logical test, and if you pass, you are invited to a meeting where they introduce more about the program, followed by an online interview to know more about your skills and also the software they used.
Informal interview which put me at ease throughout. Very calm interviewers well prepared. Some technical and non technical questions were included, but did go over the allotted hour for the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Katalyze Data (London, England) in Aug 2024
Interview
Pretty straightforward interview with a PPT slide deck thrown in explaining the graduate scheme in depth. Pay, relocation loans, etc.
The recruitment process, I am told, involves a 30-minute HR screening, an online assessment, and a 1hr presentation + case study with the HM and senior stakeholders.
I had to show right to work documents. At one point, I was told I had the "wrong accent" to live in the UK (I have a noticeably foreign accent). I managed to finish the interview but was taken aback by this.
