They sent me 5 databases and asked me to analyse them to figure out how website traffic affects sales. They added a bunch of criteria + code submission + email summary for non-technical stakeholders + README.
In the email invite, they said they only expect it to take 3-5 hours (???). I wanted to get it right, so spent days on it, analysing all the fields, documenting them correctly and modelling it.
Then they took 3 weeks to send us an answer. I actually contacted them asking about my application and that's when they remembered to respond to us.
They were 100% just looking for free labour and put this advert up to get people to come do their work for them.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Brompton Bicycle (London, England) in Aug 2023
Interview
Very off-putting interview. Two men interviewed me, one of whom didn't pay any attention throughout and was doing work on his PC. Asked extremely specific FEA questions. Their communication of questions were very poor.

I want to share my feedback on the interview process for the Global E-Commerce Data Analyst role.
This has been the most disappointing and disrespectful interview experience I’ve had. I prepared thoroughly and even rearranged my weekly schedule for the first interview. However, while I was already in the meeting, I received an email from the interviewer saying she couldn’t attend due to an urgent situation. I completely understand that emergencies happen and appreciated the prompt attempt to reschedule.
But for the second appointment, the interviewer didn’t show up again — this time with no notice, no follow-up, and no explanation. I sent several follow-up emails and even reached out to other colleagues on LinkedIn, yet never received any response.
I followed up not only because I valued the opportunity, but because this kind of behavior is unacceptable — especially from a well-known brand. At the very least, candidates deserve a basic acknowledgment and respect for their time.
Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
