I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesco in May 2015
Interview
The interview was done by two members of the team (other than the ones I was advised) and the format included an introduction by them about the team, an introduction by me, and a 10min coding test through shared screen. The format was also different than the 'informal chat' I was adviesd to expect by Tesco HR who set up the interview..

Quite simple if you prep for it; 2 interviews first that you don't need to prep for, followed by an assessment that you should not overthink given they give you 1 week (just stick to the basics). Final stage involves 3 interviews with senior staff and managers
