I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco in Jun 2025
Interview
Leadership + Coding + System Design
Feedback is in a form that recruiter read what interviewers wrote. Some their notes were not professional, such as 'run out of examples even though prepared' (had ~4 situations prepared, better 0 I guess), I was told it was OK to google or use stack overflow but if I did, it was in my feedback as well. System design was difficult so I expected it may went bad. Overall they do not look for discussion / collaboration. Interviewers job was to pinpoint your flaws.
Also I think that for leadership part they do not know what to assess hence strange feedback
