Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google DeepMind (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Waited 2+ weeks for the initial phone screen. Hiring Manager was 20 minutes late to the phone screen, appeared quite flustered.
Generic interview, only 10 minutes long due the delay. Received no feedback in the end. 2 months later, received an email to say things were "a little delayed" but a decision would be made soon.
Never heard from them again. If they asked for a face to face now, I'd tell them where to go.
I think a lot of people will apply / interview here because of the Google link, using it as a back door into Google. However I am on good authority that Deepmind and Google still operate very separately. If you're serious about Google, go direct.
Overall the hiring process was chaotic and poorly organised. I got the impression that the HR team were not experienced enough and certainly overstretched.

Question 1
Why are you applying to Deepmind? (the only question I can remember, the phone screen was so generic)

It is easier to write a negative rather than a positive review but a rejection does not mean negative for me. It is the way they treat candidates. They go incredibly fast until you are possibly rejected. I followed up after two weeks silence and was told they would let me know at some point. It has been a month, no sign of rejection, no update. I got a job somewhere else meanwhile where the recruiter kept me up to date at each step and made me realise that is how it should be. Deepmind was a serious disappointment. My dream company, I really expected more.

Question 1
1. what would you do in this situation
2. How do you communicate with senior stakeholder
3. did something ever go wrong in one of your projects
Organized and thorough interview process, with an interview deck provided at the very beginning of the process. Wait times in between interviews were lengthy but they did keep to the 4-6 week interview cycle window that was promised. Each interview felt very structured and routined vs conversational and personable.
