I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Peak (Manchester, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
Interesting tasks, nice interviewers.
The interview process was fairly standard. It involved:
- A couple of phone (video call) interviews; on background/experience, interests, knowledge of Peak...
- An on-site interview, where I had to give a presentation on a data science project, followed by questions.
- Final video call with the CEO
Everyone was really nice, the place looked exciting and the experience was thus fairly positive. After receiving an offer, which was somehow below my expectations given our prior discussions, they then became unresponsive and never heard back.
