I interviewed at Shadow Robot Company (London, England)
Interview
Take home test, signal processing followed by 2 hour onsite interview about experience and other robotics questions. Questions varied from general software engineering principles to Robotics specific questions e.g, inverse kinematics.
A third party recruitment company contacted me, advertising themselves as "being differebt than other recruitment firms". Their questionnaire didn't contain anything relevant to the role, just questions like "describe your best holiday" in a video format.
Turns out the recruitment firm wasn't that different after all: they did not even bother to reply.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shadow Robot Company (London, England) in Apr 2025
