Question 1
What I had recently been working on that wasn't standard / common in most companies that might stand out.
15 minute interview. Very short and you will be cut off if you are talking for too long. HR were polite but also very professional and to the point which is very fair considering how many applicants they have to interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hugh James (Cardiff, Wales) in Jun 2025
Interview
The first round was technical where they asked several questions on AI Engineering and LLMs.
They asked to build a deck to pitch an AI Agent in the second round and were very respectful and friendly in the interviews. However, they offered me the position by quoting a salary for the role. Upon asking if there was any possibility to increase the pay in the offer, given my circumstances, they suddenly rejected my offer and even after clarifying I was not adamant on a pay raise, I was just asking about a possibility, they got offended which I found to be unreasonable.
