I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Edimburgo, Escocia) in Oct 2016
Interview
The application started with an online test on Hackerrank, it was quite basic and easy. Following this was a brief call - it was not technical and was questioning my experience and discussing my personal projects. Within a week I was informed that I was to attend an assessment day at the office. This day included a group exercise in the morning in which the group designed a social addon to the Skyscanner website. The afternoon consisted of two interviews. The first was cultural, exploring my work ethic and motivations and the second was technical, examining my approach to a problem faced at Skyscanner.
