Software Engineer Apprenticeship Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
Very long and intense but everyone seemed lovely and had a good chat with the interviewers, interview was in 3 stages, they presented to us on a Monday, we had a skills test and then an actual interview the next day. Long process, the test and interview were around 1.5 hours each.
Only downside was that we were told that they couldn't tell us which coding programme would be used for the skills test although we should've been told so we could prepare as this is one of the areas that I failed on and also I waited 7 weeks for any feedback.
Received extremely good feedback and looking forward to trying again next year. Seems like a fab company to work for!
