I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ocean Bottle (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
Fairly chaotic as I had to chase multiple times to get the interviews booked in. The interview process was 3 stages long, and I felt I got asked the same questions throughout with the different interviewers.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ocean Bottle (London, England) in Dec 2023
Interview
Online. Punctual. Professional. Courteous. Friendly. Informative. Showed interest in me and gave me time to talk and ask questions.
Made me want to work for the company. Didn’t get any feedback on why I wasn’t appointed but not unusual at this level.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ocean Bottle
Interview
My interview process with Ocean Bottle was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. The entire process dragged on for months, requiring constant follow-up from my side. At one point, I was asked to send an email clarifying certain concerns, only to receive no response whatsoever. This lack of courtesy, communication and value for my time was frustrating.
Despite these issues, I want to highlight that the company itself has a lot to offer. The two senior staff members I spoke with during the interviews were very nice and seemed genuinely invested in the brand's mission. However, the lack of communication between interviews and the radio silence ultimately let them down.
I truly appreciate and love the objective of the brand, but the interview process needs significant improvement.
