I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at QuantumBlack in May 2018
Interview
Applied for Principal Software engineer, requiter sent hacker rank link for coding for Senior data engineer. They were difficult. And you cannot refer to anything. 2 hours of test pretty extensive but wastge of time. Totally wastage of 2 hours test more a day of preparation and yet they wont pay for 2 hours as its an interview. Really bad experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at QuantumBlack (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Very thorough interview, with a fair focus on technical expertise as well as people management.
Initial interviews were technically focused. Time management in the interviews was good. There was also a lot of attention paid to people and project management in later interviews. The interviews felt like a two-way communication rather than a one-sided process.
It was unfortunate that the team decided to offer me a role different to the one that I had initially applied for. That coupled with there being other opportunities on my plate meant that it made more sense for me not to move forwards towards the final stages.
