Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks.

I experienced three stages:

  • Initial 30-minute call with a Talent Business Partner to discuss background, motivations for applying, and find out more about the company and role.
  • 90-minute technical coding session with a Principal and Senior developer. I was given the codebase in advance, and then asked to implement a new feature during the interview as a pair-programming exercise.
  • 60-minute behavioural style questions with two Senior Managers. This felt relaxed and more about assessing personality fit at this stage.

Questions

There were examples of where I had experienced conflict within or external to a team.
