It was smooth and to the point. It was a bit long though, and we did not start exactly on time. The hiring process overall was good, not as long as other places may do.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Octopus Energy (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview was in 3 stages. 1) an introductory chat to discuss what kind of role you're looking for, what the company can offer and what their goals are, what your previous experience has been, what your preferred technologies are and so on. This is all at a high level, not much technical detail. 2) a take-home test, and they were very flexible with the timing since I was too busy to complete it for quite some weeks after the initial call. The test is clear and simple in principle (to build a responsive page from a design with a basic add to cart feature), but completely open-ended in terms of the stack and how you approach it. 3) a second, more technical call to discuss the test submission. This was thorough and covered all the key areas of the test, and consisted mainly of me talking through my decisions and alternative approaches I may have taken. It was a very friendly and positive atmosphere and didn't ever feel combative or like they were trying to trip me up. We also discussed the sorts of things I might be working on, and I was given a chance to ask any questions I had about life at the company.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Octopus Energy in Nov 2022
Interview
Very pleasant. I always knew what was coming next, the people I interacted with were always keen to answer any questions I had and everyone was nice to talk with.
