Very polite and well mannered. They were encouraging and supportive at every stage. They gave me challenges which I was able to answer with the right preparation and work. Highly recommend them as a company and to interview with.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Photocentric (Peterborough, England)
Interview
Three interviews on the same day one site: one with HR, other with team lead and finally with CEO. The team lead seemed lovely and made a lot of engineering questions, while the CEO was interested in previous experiences and skills. HR was rude, diminishing my own experience and even making some un-flattering jokes on colleages.
