I am unsure of the whole process, as the communications and process were unprofessional. I was asked to do a 1-2 hour technical project without even a phone screen or basic interview first. Recruiter would not answer basic questions about the role, telling me that if I wanted to learn more I should do the unpaid coding exercise first and then ask.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Circle (Cardiff, Wales) in Jun 2021
Interview
Good process. It started off with an initial, informal meeting via Zoom where I was briefed on the take-home task. The second interview was in person in Cardiff. After the second interview, an offer was made and I accepted.
Graduate group assessment style interview, series of challenging problem solving tasks that encouraged everyone to speak and contribute. Then 1 on 1 interview that explores CV and skills. Friendly and non confrontational
