John Lewis & Partners Software Engineer interview questions

It was a slow process with many rounds. But the interview process was nice which gives some improvements to the employee.It was a slow process with many rounds. But the interview process was nice which gives some improvements to the employee.

I applied online and the job application system was outdated with irrelevant questions to the job. After applying, I was contacted and asked to do a frontend task before progressing to an in person interview. The take-home task was to use a provided API and display some products in a list and product page. After completing the task, I uploaded the code to a private Github repo; I did not want to make this a public repo and let people know I was interviewing. I asked for the reviewer's Github username so I could give them access to the repo. They did not provide one, and insisted I make the repo public. This went a bit back and fourth. In the end, the initial process took too long, I had applied to other companies and received an offer in the meantime. Would not apply again; recruiters did not seem to know what they were doing. Process took long, and I did not feel respected for my time. This tells me enough about the company that I did not want to continue in the process.
