I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Darktrace (Cambridge, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
So initially I had an interview with the recruiter who put me up for two jobs. For this one I had a phone interview which was about me and my sales experience. I was offered a face-to-face interview straightaway. At the face to face interview the hiring person spent a lot of time selling me the job which is fine. I was introduced to the top sales person who also nice. I was asked about when I could start and salary expectations. This was all great until they asked me if I had any other interviews coming up. I had one the next day which the recruiter really pushed me for. At the time the hiring manager was happy for this and asked me to get back to her with an answer ASAP. I got back to her the next day to tell her I wanted to accept the darktrace offer, only for her to tell me that they weren’t going to make an offer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Darktrace in Feb 2020
Interview
Two round of interviews, fair process. Seems like a fast pace, dynamic environment. Very fast growing company that has a cool product and very high profile employees. However things might have change until now.
