I applied in-person. I interviewed at Fetch.AI in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview process was basically non-existent. Most interns, including myself, received the position through winning a Fetch.ai-sponsored hackathon. After the event, we were contacted by the team, had a short chat to confirm our interests and availability, and then got the offer. There wasn’t a formal technical interview, it was more about showing initiative and interest in the project we built during the hackathon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They mostly asked about the project we built during the hackathon, what our role was, what tools or frameworks we used, and how we incorporated Fetch.ai’s agent technology.
Online interview with two engineers. Awkward mono sentence introduction from both of them. I was getting along nicely with one but the other kept giving me attitude throughout the whole interview. At some point he asked me to define time complexity, which I did more or less correctly. He disputed my definition with another non-sense definition in broken English so I just quit the interview. Can't stand this type of arrogance.

Question 1
What is the difference between concurrency and parallelism
Why Python is slower compared to languages like C
Some questions around the GIL
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fetch.AI (London, England) in Mar 2024
Interview
A recruiter contacted me for the position. The interview was with two engineers from the company one was working in NLP another was a Python developer. The interviews were polite however they were not prepared for the interview. I felt that they did not understand the latest developments in the field as they were junior engineers and were mostly doing implementations and not actual research and model building. I never for any feedback from them. The recruiter also did not respond my feedback request.
