I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zappi in Jan 2021
Interview
I had an initial call with the recruiter which was pretty nice but not very informative. After that, the recruiter tried to organize a technical interview, which was challenging to do since their engineers had limited availability that week. When I suggested an alternative time slot for a future date, the recruiter disappeared and never got back to me. So I'm not sure what happened there, I guess I fell through the cracks.
In any case, very weird experience, and the recruiting process definitely needs some work.

Question 1
General questions about goals and experience, nothing technical or too detailed.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry you had such a poor experience interviewing with us. In truth we increased our recruitment activities significantly at the beginning of the year, with a new team, and a few mistakes were made. Since then we've really worked to tighten up the process and make it a positive experience for everyone. Will definitely take this on board.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Zappi (Camden Town, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
They leave you alone for 30 minutes to work through a programming test, and then three people (director, scrum master and developer) came into the room and we talked through the answers I had provided and how I came to those conclusions.
