I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IDTechEx in Jan 2026
Interview
Pretty straightforward. General questions about yourself, background, relevant interests, knowledge about the company, a business related technical question or 2 etc. Friendly vibes, shame I didn't make the shortlist 😂
Average interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at IDTechEx
Interview
First interview was posed as an initial chat but was definitely more of an interview than a chat. Interviewers were relaxed and friendly, asked me basic arithmetic problem, and questions to probe understanding of the role.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at IDTechEx (Cambridge, England)
Interview
5 Stages; HR, Data Analysis Test, Technical. Presentation, Interview with CEO; the presentation stage is market research style presentation where you are expected to understand and predict what the growth of a particular technology will look like over the next coming decade; while this was fun, the lack of proper outline of what was expected made it challenging, and eventually led to my rejection (they mentioned business presentation, but they were unhappy about the lack of science in my presentation)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why join IDTechEx? Why are you interested in working on semiconductor technologies? How familiar are you with writing reports?
