Interview
The process started with a 30 minute HR call, then a writing exercise followed by four interviews. Each of the four interviews was an hour long. The entire process took about two weeks.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at nearmap (Sydney) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of three rounds. It began with an initial HR screening focused on general background questions, followed by a technical interview with the Director of Deep Learning covering relevant experience and high-level technical topics. Candidates then completed a take-home machine learning assignment, which was well-designed and engaging.
The second technical interview involved the broader team and focused on discussing the take-home solution and deeper technical questions. While the interviews themselves were positive and constructive, communication after the second round was lacking, with no follow-up or closure provided despite the process indicating a final in-person interview with the CEO. This lack of communication felt unprofessional and detracted from an otherwise solid interview experience.

Interview
Fairly typical stages - recruiter call, hiring manager call, some technical challenges, culture/company/values fit etc.
Made it to the hiring manager interview, had what I thought was a good call, but they ghosted me afterwards. Reached out to both the recruiter and the hiring manager and was treated with utter silence. It shows a complete lack of respect to not even get the courtesy of being rejected.
