I applied online. I interviewed at Smarkets (London, England)
Interview
All very standard. Phone screen, codility, 2 in person interviews. Final interview was with CEO who has a bit of a reputation. Was screened for not being a good culture fit (whatever that means).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's the probability of getting at least 1 six from 10 rolls of 5 dice?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smarkets in Sept 2024
Interview
First was recruiter screening, just questions on your current situation and what you're looking for. The second stage was two leetcode style questions (1 easy & 1 easy/medium). The third stage was a backend-style question. The question itself was straightforward but you needed to get the optimal solution within the given time (without wasting time). I made a silly mistake early on (wasting time) but still got 14/15 test cases passed but wasn't good enough. Everyone was very friendly, communicative, quick to respond and most importantly gave feedback after the interviews.
