I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Max Fordham (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Two interviews, one online interview to introduce yourself and let them understand your motivations, then an in-person technical interview. Both interviews were in a conversational style which helped settle any nerves.
The technical interview included a 10 minute presentation on one of my projects, but the overall interview ended up lasting twice as long as they had stated because one of the managers (who was not in my first interview), wanted to ask me the same questions from the first interview.
Aside from that, the process was smooth and the people who work there were lovely to talk to.

Interview
A pre-prepared presentation on a project I've worked on, followed by open-ended questions about myself, then two technical questions with follow ups. Felt quite informal and conversational, and geared towards seeing your way of approaching problems, enthusiasm, and fit with the culture, more so than direct knowledge. Interviewers and reception staff were welcoming and did what they could to reduce stress. Lasted around 2 hours.

Question 1
1. Sketch a bike, and explain what design features have influences how you've sketched it.
2. Similar to (1), but based around a radiator heating system.
