I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netbuilder (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
I got three stages in. I had a physical 1:1 interview with the senior consultant, followed by a take-home programming test and subsequent phone interview covering the test and some more about the working environment with a software engineer. There was a fourth stage but I never found out what that was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a system for manufacturing socks, how would you go about ensuring that your system is manufacturing socks at an optimal rate?
The environment is very relaxed, one interview process straight into an offer/rejection. The interviewer asks technical and cultural questions about the role you are applying for. Many of the questions can be prepared for by checking the requirements of the role
