I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at System C (Maidstone, England) in Nov 2013
Interview
Technical Exam - 1 hr to complete, wasn't particularly hard. Whiteboard programming which is then discussed with interviewers. Then a face to face interview in which technical questions are asked, not particularly hard again. Very common stuff that any developer should know. Then a chat about cv's.
