I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Select Legal Systems
Interview
I was recruited through an agency for a permanent position. The development manager called at home for an informal chat, and invited me for an interview. The first part of the interview was a 2 hour quiz which was almost impossible to finish. Then I had to do a programming test to ensure that I could actually do the job. Finally, there was the face to face interview which lasted over an hour. The entire process took nearly 4 hours.
After I had accepted the offer, there were also background checks to complete.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
On the test that I underwent, There was a shape consisting of a number of lines that crossed and intersected and made different shapes. We had to count the number of triangles.
Towards the end of the question paper, there was a series of dominos in a line, together with some other numbers. 2 were complete and we had to get the rest
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Select Legal Systems (Hull, England)
Interview
This was the stage before interview which involved completing an exam within 2 hours. The exam contained very tricky maths questions which were difficult to work out as there was a lot of staff chatting and laughing in the room behind me, as well as various beeps from door card readers.
The exam was poorly written, and a lot of the reference images were of poor quality so some questions were ambiguous.
I never received a follow up call or email regarding this position which was especially disappointing considering I had invested 2 hours of my life to their exam. The least a company can do is send a follow up communication indicating whether or not a person had been successful.
Very poor experience.
