I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at First Derivatives in Apr 2012
Interview
The whole process was really smooth and rather straight forward. I submitted a CV, was contacted within two days about a phone interview which was brief and only consisted of some basic questions. After that I went to their offices in Newry for two one-on-one interviews which were, again, straight forward with no particularly difficult or tricky questions and they were rather friendly. There was also a logic test which I completely didn't understand but no one else did either and I stil was offered the job so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Great interview behavioral questions about past experience and education. They'll ask you for a transcript and go through your technical skills and ability. Very friendly staff and efficient hiring process.
I applied online. I interviewed at First Derivatives (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Dec 2022
Interview
Brief interview over zoom. Interviewer made you feel comfortable and fast email replies. Interview only lasted around 15 mins, I was informed of whether I had received an of offer for the position within 2 weeks. Overall very professional and co-oporative staff.

Interview
Terrible experience.
I applied back in Dec 2021 and was asked to interview within days, I replied immediately with my availability only to not hear back from them for weeks. Then I received a reminder about my application to which I replied to and again, did not get a response. I eventually got a reply and we arranged a time for interview. An hour before the interview I still had no received a link to the online meeting so I emailed the HR member I was corresponding with. She had put the wrong date in her diary for interview (which did not suit me) so we rearranged for the following week. Same thing happened again and she did not send me a link so I emailed again for a link to which she responded that she did not see my email the week prior (even though she replied). An absolute waste of time was more disappointed in wasting my time than not getting the job.
