The interview process was well structured and allowed me to speak with the whole team near the end which was nice. I did receive an offer, it was a tough decision but I ultimately declined the offer from CTM, I would definitely consider applying again in the future

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Compare The Market (London, England) in Feb 2023

Interview

There were two stages to the process, both were completed virtually which was great. The only downside was that the second stage was added later in the process, and I was not made aware of this at the start.

It was really negative as the HR is very unprofessional in terms of communication just wasting time for both parties. Very disappointed of the whole process and I'll never consider them again!

Application

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Compare The Market in Sept 2022

Interview

An initial short call, followed by a video call with the hiring manager to discuss the suitability for the role, and a final technical interview split into a personal attitude and a pair programming technical competence test.

Interview Questions
  • For the final interview, several questions about challenges of working with other people and best practices. E.g. Could you name a situation when you have had to deal with difficulties and how did you cope?
  • The second part of the final interview was a coding challenge in Node paring up with another senior developer.
  • One of the requirements was to write Node without looking up any examples from the web. Overall, the technical coding challenge seemed to be very poorly organized. Of course, it did not help that the other developer leading the coding challenge did not want to switch on his camera. My advice is to negotiate the topics of the technical challenge beforehand and make sure that they stick to it; otherwise, it is just a matter of luck whether you will know how to do it.

Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Compare The Market (Peterborough, England) in Oct 2021

Interview

Online interview, which was very relaxed, almost informal. Seemed as much about selling the company to me as assessing my suitability. I was told a date by which they would notify me as to whether or not I was successful. I have received no correspondence or feedback from HR since, despite contacting them to request it.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
