I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Admiral Group (Wales, England) in Feb 2023
Interview
Weird questions irrelevant to software engineering skills and rejected based on personality profiling. What a weird and backwards way of screening employees. I thought my tasks had gone well but the test which is designed for you to not finish in the alloted time has little to no relation to what a software engineer would expect to do.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Admiral Group in Jan 2025
Interview
- Phone screen with internal recruiter
- Take-home test to be completed on Codility
- Video interview with 2 engineers, with fixed compentency style questions ("can you think of a time....")
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Take-home test has three phases; multiple choice questions, a generic 'leetcode' style task, and somewhat representative Spring Boot implementation for an API
1st stage as an hour long discussion not too technical but more to see about role fit and cv run through. Pretty decent and enjoyable. 2nd round was scheduled but then I was rug pulled and told the position was hired internally. Unprofessional to lead on and telling of the company.
