[Back to all experiences](https://www.aced.io/experiences) ## Candidate outcome and timing | Field | Details | |---|---| | Result | **Rejected** | | Interview date | **2 years ago** | | Timespan | **6 weeks** | | Difficulty | **Difficult** | ## Interview process The candidate described the process as positive overall, with well-behaved recruiters, no ghosting, and a friendly technical team. The candidate also noted a **heavy NDA** to be aware of. - Recruiter screen - Online assessment - Technical interview - Final round - Take-home project ## Interview rounds There were **5 questions across 5 rounds**. ### Recruiter screen — 1 question This round is marked **Free preview**. Specific question: - [What is the project you are most proud of?](https://www.aced.io/questions/1031) ### Online assessment — 1 question The remainder of this round and later rounds are behind the membership access prompt. The rendered content shows a repeated, generic 45-minute senior-interviewer format and a product-improvement question with a sample response, but it does not identify those details as Edinburgh Instruments-specific interview questions. We therefore do not treat them as specific details of this experience. ### Technical interview The round is listed in the five-round process. Additional content is restricted by the membership prompt. ### Final round The round is listed in the five-round process. Additional content is restricted by the membership prompt. ### Take-home project The round is listed in the five-round process.
