I interviewed at Thought Machine (London, England)
Interview
The first interview was an informal discussion where the interviewer told me about what the company does and what the company is looking for. He also asked me a bit about my experience
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Thought Machine (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Screening call with recruiter, then a 3-hour take home test, followed by a "half-day" on-site which consisted of 4 separate 50 minute interviews with minimal break in between. These interviews consisted of: 1) review of take home test, 2) System Design 3) System Review - talking about systems/projects you have workedon 4) Situational/Role Play - understand how you would manage a specific situation with conflicting priorities
Over all very positive experience at every stage of the interview.
