I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Arkera (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
I had an initial phone screen, then I did a take home code test. After that I was brought in for face to face interviews, including going over my code tests with technical leads. Some of the technical questions were quite challenging for me, especially relating the backend, but talking through the problems was very interesting.
Overall it was about a weeks worth of communication including coming in for interviews before the informed me of their decision.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arkera (London, England) in Dec 2018
Interview
The application process was quite fast compared to other companies and took around 2 weeks. It consisted of an initial phone call to discuss past project and what the company was looking for. I was then asked to complete some coding tasks for Front-End (React or framework of choice) and some light backend and testing (Python). The final step is the on site interview in their London offices.
The team was incredibly passionate and they gave a lot of insight into what working at Arkera feels like.

Interview
The interview process was fast and efficient. I first got a phone screen followed by 3 programming questions in order to test coding abilities. I was then invited on site for three interviews, one of them being with the CTO. Everyone was really friendly, interesting and approachable. I received my offer 3 days later.
