I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thought Machine (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
For the summer internship, I first completed a one-on-one online interview. After that, I was able to choose a date for an in-person interview.
Throughout the process, I was provided with helpful preparation materials, which were a great resource. I was also able to ask questions beforehand about the interview format, and the recruiters were happy to explain what to expect.
During the in-person interview, I was asked two programming questions. They were moderately difficult enough to assess problem solving skills, but not overly difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question asked me to convert Roman numerals to integers. As an additional challenge, I was then asked to optimise the solution further and design a system that could perform the reverse conversion.

Interview
I applied through LinkedIn Easy Apply, and the recruiter reached out and invited me to an on-site interview—one round of interviews. Questions about your personal project and medium leetcode, as well as questions on how to optimise it.
