I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Darktrace
Interview
Starting with technical and gradually progressing to more general problem-solving/logic. Great interviewer, nice questions, very positive experience, minimal HR questions in the first round but got lots of info given about the company and why they're good to work for.
