3 to 4-stage process; 1) Recruitment team screen 2) Technical screen with presentation on a relevant paper 3) Live coding exercise 4) ML theory and workplace culture The process was very smooth and Harry C and the recruitment team were extremely friendly, flexible and professional throughout. The interviews were probing and I found the discussions interesting as well as necessarily challenging enough to feel stretched. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and understanding, helping and prompting me where required while allowing me to explore my own thoughts too, a good balance. Overall, I was left with a very good impression of Speechmatics. They came across as a team of capable, driven people who all supported each other in delivering some pretty cool tech.

The whole process was extremely positive; everyone I spoke with was very friendly and seemed to genuinely love their job. They were also really flexible; for instance they organised an in-person lunch because I asked them about the culture. They were also outstandingly helpful and open in giving me more context and detail after the interviews, to make sure I can make the best possible choice about the role. The technical round was probably one of the best interviews I've been given so far; there were some difficult questions that however taught me something about what I would want to learn next. They also did a really great job at guiding me through the questions I didn't know the answer to, so I got a good sense that they were not necessarily just looking for the person who knows everything, but they value ability to learn and curiosity as well.
