Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Easy coding challenge, phone screen with 7 or so behavioral questions. They said I would be contacted by the end of the week, but I've been ghosted since then. Haven't heard back.
Short phone call and never heard back. Basic questions like “tell me about yourself”. Coding test was also easy and was an OA. Solid internship it sounds like, I wish they would respond :/
OA, phone screen round, OA was fairly trivial, phone screen also somewhat trivial, but they are selective at this stage, and mainly looking for fit. I was more interested in ML/AI roles, and expressing this was likely to my detriment.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vanguard (London, England) in Aug 2025
