I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at dunnhumby (London, England) in Jun 2023
Interview
I applied via LinkedIn and a week later received an email asking if I were available for an initial call for the role which I agreed. After the initial call I was told by the recruiter that my application would be passed onto the hiring managers and they will decide if they would want to see me for an interview. Just over a week later I had my interview with both team members. They were pleasant and despite them being 5 minutes late to the call it went well. After the interview I asked for next steps and was told I would be given a case study to present back to senior team members. I received the case study and begun to work on it. A couple of days before my interview which was due to be in person I was told that this had changed and that my interview was going to be over Microsoft Teams and that the time had changed from 2-3pm to 4pm-5pm. I agreed and on the day of my interview the interviewees were a few mintues late but I went straight into presenting the task I had been given. From start to finish the interview was intense, I received no positive feedback on my presentation just points on what was missing and what they wanted to see but didn't. The whole interview was very serious and cold. Instead of it being an hour it was 35 minutes long and one of interviewer's didnt appear interested and at one stage appear to be creaming their hands. At the end of the interview I was told that I should hear back from the recruiter within two weeks if I were successful. Going by yesterdays interview I know this won't be the case. Apologises for not understanding the brief.

Question 1
What media campaign stood out to you and why? What made you include information about Tesco being the UK's largest grocer? Why did you feel it was important? As you haven't worked in the retail industry before how do you go about conducting research into an area you're not familiar with? What do you think was missing from this brief?
