I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pirical in Jul 2021
Interview
I applied for the job and the recruitor contacted me to have a call with the HR manager. The first interview with the HR manager was great to get information about the company, and I was quite pleased to have it. The recruitor was helpful too. The second interview with the head of data operations was not very good. I was already informed that they were going to ask me about the challenging moments or experiences. The interviewer's face was difficult to read and showed me a very boring face, which made me feel nervious and uncomfortable. Later, I didn't hear any feedback, and I saw that the job was reposted after the interview. The HR people were being nice so I would not say my experience was negative, but with the Head of the Data Team was quite negative without any feedback.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pirical (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
after the interview i had such a distaste for working at this place.
in the behavioural interview i kinda got baited into sharing an interpersonal conflict from my pre-prepared situation. it kinda felt like the interviewer baited me until there was something to pick apart. from there on out the interviewer just kept asking these suggestive questions which made it obvious what interpretation of this story will be passed on 😂😂 it felt like talking to someone who doesnt fully appreciate the nuance of the situation because they lack emotional intelligence and are just. not. getting. it. i kinda feel like the interviewer was just pretending to not get it though. idk..
yeah bizarre situation. once i realise i was cooked i just defended my point of view cause i knew i had handled the situation correctly and it seemed wrong to just let my integrity be questioned by some random stranger without standing up for myself. the audacity of this interviewer, man. didnt get the offer anyway lol rip. dodged a bullet for sure.
