I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 1E (Ealing, England) in Jul 2015
Interview
Clumsy, drawn out, staggered, and the process was knee-jerk reactionary, a complete waste of time and evidence of a badly disorganized company. I was given a brief to present to, which I did correctly, only to be informed afterwards the presentation should have been leaning toward another part of the business, This was not in the brief. Thank goodness this was only a 'brief' encounter and I didn't end up joining them. Seeing from all the negative reviews of 'current' employees, its a lucky escape!
