I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at bet365 (Manchester, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
Had a one on one interview with a lead developer and was asked questions about my background in software development and my passions. Also had a minor coding test with fairly straightforward questions, involving character stripping, and recursive functions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at bet365 (Stoke-on-Trent, England) in May 2022
Interview
A meeting over teams speaking to the tech recruiter after an initial meeting with a different recruiter. The interviewer was friendly and the questions were straightforward. The next step was possibly an interview at their HQ

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at bet365 (Manchester, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
Had a phone interview with a "Software Development Team Leader". Felt more like an informal conversation. Discussed the role and what I'd be doing and who I'd be working with. He asked about a few points on my CV, what my strongest programming language was, what I'd do if I can't solve a problem via Stackoverflow.
Had a follow up call from the recruiter/HR person 72 hours later in anticipation of being invited to the next stage in person but was rejected because I was "lacking technically". Very anticlimactic, vague feedback. Better than the usual ghosting I suppose. The extremely long term unemployed painful grad search continues.

Question 1
What is your strongest programming language?
How do you solve problems when you're completely stuck and Stackoverflow can't help?
For one of your projects, what have you done to ensure backend API calls are completed in a time efficient manner?
