The interview process first involved a Codility test which was quite manageable for somebody with intermediate programming ability. The next step was a 30 minute meeting with the hiring manager. The technical questions being asked where reasonable however, I felt that I was penalised heavily for not having used the Ocado platform. This was the case, when asked a scenario-based technical question, as the interviewer assumed that you knew the platform well and knew exactly what features were available to you to answer the question. In general, I felt that the hiring manager had a very ineffective approach to trying to understand my data science knowledge and applicable skills for the role.

General interview process, hr call, hiring manager call and case study with team members. The tech and vision are very interesting (so far, only scaled robotic company in the UK). However, the location and salary are not that great. They pay for a scale outside of London which is not ideal.
