I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Camascope (London, England) in Sep 2024
Interview
The first interview was a remote one-to-one with the Chief Technology Officer. While I was asked some very challenging questions relevant to the role, they made me feel very at ease, and the meeting seemed to go very quickly.
The second and final interview was in person and was the CTO and head of HR. The process was very professional yet friendly. The meeting took the full hour, but the time flew by. My suitability for the role was checked, both in terms of technical skills, professional competency and team fit.
In contrast to many interview processes I have been through, the Camascope process was extremely thorough, but also enjoyable and unintimidating. All communications in terms of arrangements, offer and follow-up questions and answers were efficient and to the point.

Interview
I went through the interview process for a Senior HR Business Partner role at Camascope, and I have to say, it was a really positive experience from start to finish.
The process took about three weeks and included three stages: an initial video chat with the CFO (who was also the hiring manager), a second interview with the CEO, and then a final in-person meeting with both of them.
What really stood out to me was how welcoming and genuine everyone was. They created a space where I could just be myself, no pressure, no pretence. The whole process was thoughtful, professional, and human, which says a lot about the culture they’re building.
I walked away feeling really seen and respected and with a great impression of the company and the people behind it.

Question 1
They asked some thoughtful questions about how I approach training and development, performance management, and shaping a positive company culture, and much more. It felt like they were genuinely interested in understanding how I work and what I could bring to the team.

Interview
3 stages initially - call with the CTO, technical assessment including take home test and then come back for a review and some technical questions plus system designing kind of round and then final interview with the CTO (face to face)
Then the company went silent and I found out that I was not selected. However after couple of weeks I was called by the recruiter that the person they selected has rejected the offer and they want to offer you the role.
They arranged for two more short interviews with the CTO and CEO and then they offered me the role.
I had the unfortunate experience of accepting an offer from Camascope, only for them to pull it at the last minute—just two days before my notice period at my current job was about to end. This left me in an incredibly difficult situation where I was effectively unemployed with no role to go to.
What made this even worse was that Camascope was fully aware of my personal circumstances, including the fact that I have a severely disabled child and a terminally ill partner. Despite this, they showed absolutely no empathy or professionalism. They didn’t even have the decency to inform me directly—I only found out through the recruiter. Even after reaching out to them for clarification, I received no response whatsoever.
This unethical and careless behavior was especially devastating as it happened just before the Christmas period. It took me over three months to secure another job, draining all of my savings and forcing me to rely on credit cards just to stay afloat. No one should have to go through this kind of financial and emotional turmoil because of a company’s lack of integrity.
Companies like Camascope should be held accountable for their actions. I sincerely hope that laws are put in place to prevent such reckless and inconsiderate behavior in the future. If you value professionalism, honesty, and basic human decency, I strongly advise you to think twice before trusting this company with your career.
