I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kainos (Birmingham, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
At first, I had a normal, traditional interview where I was asked questions and then a technical question at the end. The interviewers were very friendly, super chill and made you very comfortable. It does not even feel like a formal, traditional interview. After the interview, I had a group activity where we had to discuss a problem. This was a really fun activity to do as well. They were all brilliant.

Interview
Interview consisted of hour long interview with two employees, followed by a 45 minute break before an hour long group exercise.
The first part of the interview included usual interview questions and ended with a technical question. This question is not too difficult and is there to see how you go about coding a solution.
The second part of the interview involved around 4 candidates working through a non-technical problem together, to test how each candidate works in a team environment.
Entire application process, including before and after the interview, was welcoming - the hiring team are very friendly and willing to offer help! Great communcation throughout - did not need to wait long for the result of my interview.
Hiring team are happy to provide feedback from the interview so you can improve on any weaknesses.
