The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ocado Group (London, England)
Interview
very bad experience (waste of time).
Hr process was good and they also give you feedback .
First interview was with hiring manager was ok, which I passed.
I supposed to make interviews with higher level mangers (as in Professional/normal companies), However it was the opposite in Ocado!!!!
You have to partecipate in 3 interviews or more which was really non logic.
I was participating in interviews with People who have less experience than me and they are really so young to evaluate people and new to the company(less than 1 year experience)!
I didn’t see a professional process, I was asked about non
significant questions and random ones!
4 stages process:
- HR interview call
- 1st round behavioural; interview with an analyst+ brain teaser
- 2nd round : with Manager + business case on excel
- 3rd round: interview with Head of analytics

Question 1
Behavioural questions + brain teaser and business case on excel
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ocado Group (London, England) in Mar 2019
Interview
Applied through a recruiter then a 2 stage interview process with Ocado.
Travel to Office in Hartsfield, which somehow is described as London but really isn't be prepared to fork out £8 train ticket to get there and when you arrive £5 uber ride to get to the office.
The first interview was fairly straight forward and enjoyable case study.
The final round interview was carried out by two very arrogant individuals, clearly, all the newspaper headline work Ocado do really gets to these guys heads and they clearly think no candidate is as good as them.
The interview was scheduled at 4:40 pm on Friday and these guys clearly just wanted to wrap up the interview and go home before it even began which them constantly looking at there watches as was speaking.
The case study was basically about milk ordering system going down and how you would forecast on temp basis while the system gets sorted out.
Interviewers left 2 min for questions at the end which I think told the whole story that they were not interested at all in making the interview a 2-way process - their arrogant attitude reeked of oppressive hierarchical office culture.

Question 1
Large focus on what technical projects were carried out in previous employment, be prepared to show you fully understand the work you have done
