I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cambridge Networks (Huntingdon, England) in Jul 2016
Interview
Intense! One of the longer interviews I have had, don't be put off by the interview, you're joining the Cambridge Networks family, and they want to make sure you're right for the job.
As I walked through the door, I was welcomed by one of the team, who showed me to the meeting room, and was promptly asked if I wanted a drink, and was made to feel welcome from the start.
I had a telephone interview with the Recruitment agency, followed by a face to face with 2 of the 3 directors, where I was asked to complete a technical test for the level of job I was going for (don't be put off, if you get through this, you will be more than capable of doing the job you are offered.) They then asked me questions about me, what I expect from the job, and my long term prospects.
Note how long my interview process was... although it took 4 weeks, this was a special case as the recruiter put me down for a different job initially, you can realistically look at around 1/2 weeks from application to offer (if you succeed)
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cambridge Networks (Huntingdon, England)
Interview
Face to face chat followed by a technical test which involves some very basic IT questions and answers but doesn't offer a real insight into if a person is capable of doing the job.
As proof of this the company had several staff join and leave very quickly, some because they weren't good enough and some because they couldn't work with the managers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple IT questions like what is the purpose of DNS. To work in IT support they should give questions similar to a Microsoft technical exam.
