Two rounds, first one with a developer and a service desk manager to explain the role and give a short development test (easy to anyone who can program), then an interview with a senior member of staff to determine if you're a good culture fit. Found out on the same day that I got the job.

The interview process consisted of a screening call, a technical interview, and an interview with senior management. The technical interview started with a paper-based test. The test asked six technical questions about basic algorithms, databases, html, source control, and object oriented design. The questions were fairly basic, and were treated more as a basis for discussion rather than a test where your exact performance was measured. I got the sense that I was being judged more on my ability to explain my answers, to spot my own errors, or to work out the solution when given a bit more information. For example, I was asked a question about how a specific relationship should be represented using databases; I have no experience with databases, but the interviewer explained a bit about them, and I was expected to work out how the relationship might be implemented from that information. The interview with senior management was more focused on determining whether I would be a good cultural fit within the company. I was asked about my motivations for applying for the job, but also about my motivations for choosing my degree subjects and about how I made other major life/career decisions. I was asked about what I liked to do in my free time; one company value is "balance," so they're keen to evaluate whether you've got interests outside of work. In general, I found the interviews to be very thorough, but much more natural that you often experience with graduate schemes. They asked natural, but probing questions about my background, education, experience, and technical knowledge to try to get a sense of what skills I had, and who I was as a person; some graduate interviews will ask lots of really open-ended, competency-based questions. This interview process felt much more geared towards discussing my own experiences and how those demonstrated my strengths and skills---the questions were much more specific to my CV and answers to previous questions. I was extremely impressed by how quick and professional the whole process was. After each stage, I was given a decision (on whether to progress to the next stage) at least the next day, if not later that same day. The whole process took about a week; that's pretty impressive compared to some of the other interview processes I've experienced!
