The interview process was unusually long—it took nearly two months just to reach the interview stage, which felt excessive. The final assessment was a full-day event, including a coding test, a PowerPoint presentation on a topic of your choice, and a concluding interview with a senior manager.
Unfortunately, the final interview repeated many of the same questions from the initial screening, which made the experience feel redundant and frustrating. The coding portion involved two relatively simple tasks, but the time constraints didn’t allow for adding meaningful detail—despite assurances that completeness wasn’t critical, it clearly impacted the evaluation.
Presenting during the interview was another challenge. I spent over two weeks preparing, yet the feedback claimed the presentation lacked substance, which was disappointing given the effort invested. Additionally, I was asked to “tell me about yourself” four separate times, including twice during lunch, which felt repetitive and poorly coordinated.
The role requires full-time relocation to Guildford and mandates five days a week in the office. The management style felt outdated, reminiscent of workplace norms from two decades ago, which may not suit professionals seeking a modern, flexible environment
