I applied through an employee referral.

I was referred by another person working at Zopa. The company reached out to me, and we arranged an interview. It was a 30-minute chat. I was asked about my previous experience, and I was told a bit about the company. The perks were emphasised a lot. They didn't fail to mention the 4 pm beer time at the office on Fridays, which will be relevant later. Eventually, I was told I would hear back within 1 to 2 working days. I heard back in 4 working days, on Friday exactly at 4 pm, with a negative result. Keep in mind that I was referred by my ex-colleague who vouched for me, and the person who interviewed me was not a technical person. There were no reasons or feedback provided. I replied within 15 minutes and got an "on holiday" autoresponse for 2 weeks. You can decide for yourself what sort of attitude they have there. P.S. Of course, I never got any reply even after the person came back from holiday.

Tell me about a project you worked on recently.
