Interview process was extremely slow and painful. I had a call March 2024 via recruiter. Initial interview was set 1 month after that April 2024, passed that interview, it was more of an initial sift, so mainly going through CV, Then 2nd interview was set another month later May 2024. Interview was about 90 mins long. Questions were standard and more of a conversational style, even with the technical ones.
About 3 days later, I was asked how i would get to Bristol, and I said I would commute/ stay in hotel as it was only 2 days a week, in the office ( I live 2 hours away) heard nothing for 10 days then they came back and said they had given the job to someone else that lived a lot further than I did, but that person said they would relocate. I wasn't explicitly asked and if they did want me to relocate, neither was it on the JD. Had I been asked I would have said I would be happy to relocate.
They then felt bad and apologised and said they would try and find me another role within the company this is now June 2024. After 2 weeks of 'searching' they came back and said there would be no offer as they couldn't find anything suitable.
A 4 month saga, for them to tell me no at the end, very very poor from MBDA
