      Programmer Manager Interview

      23 June 2017
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BBC (London, England) in June 2014

      Interview

      Process took a long time, several weeks from first notification, though only one 1 hour competancy based interview with 3 people, and a decision was made. The complication was agreement of my departure date from one department to move to the new role - in the BBC this can be excessively time consuming.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me a time about when you worked in an underperforming team, how did it feel and what did you do about it
