The interview process was thorough and consisted of five parts in total; - Phone screening - Short programming exercise (take home) - Experience/ Development Process discussions - Technical discussion - Behavioural discussion The process was relatively fast and accommodating to my availability. Although there were many steps they each served a purpose.

After being referred by an external recruiter, I had an initial phone screening with an internal recruiter to talk about the company, what I was looking for, remote working etc. I next completed a two-part technical assessment submitting code and documentation for review. I didn't hear back specifically about this, but a video call was scheduled a few days later with three members of the team I was joining. This call went into my previous experience and a wide range of technical questions covering different technologies I had worked with and some that I hadn't. I was next invited to the Edinburgh office (expenses paid) for one day for what was described as a "chat" by the external recruiter, but was two consecutive interview, lunch and a third interview. It was quite a gruelling day! Interviews were mostly with managers of other teams and focused a lot on ways of working, how I handled problems, disagreements etc. I also learned a bit more about what the team did and planned work at this stage, mostly over lunch. The third interview was with two senior engineers and we went into depth on a technical project I'd completed at a previous job. I received a job offer and accepted shortly after. It was a long, intense process and felt quite repetitive compared to other interviews.
