      GResearch-Presents-ScottAaronson by G-Research

      What if a new type of computer existed which, in seconds, could solve problems that take today's fastest supercomputers years? This, in a nutshell, is the compelling premise of quantum computing, and the 'what if?' which has propelled computer scientist and former MIT professor Scott Aaronson throughout his exceptional academic career.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Employee in London, England
      Accepted Offer
      Positive Experience
      Difficult Interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at G-Research (London, England) in July 2017.

      Interview

      Online test, followed by 2 on site interview sessions each consisting of 3 interviews of an hour each.

      The online test was easier than similar tests I have taken at other companies, but seemed pitched fairly well to weed out weak applicants without making it unreasonably hard.

      The first day of interviews were all with members of the team I applied for, and all almost exclusively technical.

      The second day was a mixture of technical interviews and more qualitative interviews with senior staff.

      Generally a well organised process.
