Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online, and the process took four weeks.

There were two online tests to gauge my general coding ability and my skill in Java. There was then an assessment day. There were two groups of people. We then had a research question, where you had time to research a topic that you picked out of a hat and then present your findings to a panel of judges, who asked you questions about it. There was then a one-on-one interview to go through what you knew and your past experience. After that, there was a lunch break where you got to speak to different developers working in the office. My group then got to work with Lego, and we had to build something with limited pieces. As we were building something, we had extra requirements enforced, such as not using a certain piece, and we had to adapt to the changes. Lastly, there was another interview with the HR department.
