      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Gambit Research

      Interview

      Technical phone screen, pretty cold interviewers. Onsite with 2 technical rounds then meeting the CTO: - big red flags: very cold & unfriendly atmosphere within the technical team, no time to properly discuss interviewee's background and show some social attitude, very bad technical interviewing skills (compared to *literally any* Bay Area tech company), didn't propose at any single time how to help for the travel from another country to the onsite. - positive aspects: people seem very autonomous and smart Advice to the Gambit Research: this is not how you convince people from top tech companies to join your company. Advice to interviewers: stay away, go interview to Uber/Apple/Google/Facebook/Netflix/Amazon/Lyft... instead and don't lose your time there.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1st: walking through some python code that pretty much does server-side handling of a mini-IRC protocol (channels, users, messages) and implementing new features in it 2nd: sudoku solver (dynamic programming) 3rd: Cultural fit

      Thanks for the feedback, and we're really sorry that you had a negative experience interviewing with us. We do offer a relocation package for people moving to London from a long distance away, to work for Gambit. I'd love to give you more detail on that if you're interested? We also like to think that we have a great company culture. People are friendly, sociable, engaged and motivated. I'm only sorry that you didn't get to see this during your interview, so that's a learning point for us. If you'd like to chat more about your experience, do feel free to pop us an email.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gambit Research (London, England) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Screening followed by onsite that consisted of 2 longer coding sessions and some talks. One session was python and included some inter threading communication. Was promised a reply the next day... a month passed... and I was actually optimistic... Sent a few emails still no reply.. I actually first found out I was not receiving an offer from a friend of a friend. A bit ridiculous. It seemed like a nice company overall but am a bit disgusted right now.

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gambit Research (London, England) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      There was one phone interview followed by a Codility challenge. Afterwards there were 3 rounds of interview questions on-site. The first one was about understanding some multi-threaded python code, then a betting/arbitrage situation and finally some functional programming / algorithms questions. I would say the programming interviews were not particularly hard, but the betting questions may be problematic if you don't have the needed mathematic background. People were very friendly all along even when things didn't turn out so well.

      Question 1

      Solving a tic-tac-toe problem with dynamic programming.
