I applied online. I interviewed at Ocado Group (Derby, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was interviewed for a Mechanical Concept Engineer position. I applied September 2020 and heard back that they wanted to interview me in January 2021. Haven't completely forgotten about it, I still decided to go through their very rigorous application process. They assigned me a test and a whole design problem to present. I worked hard on complying and after delivering all material they said results were going to be disclosed “in two weeks”. Complete disappointment to find out the absolute lack of professionalism from the team. After chasing them several times, they never were able to simply tell me “No”. They have ignored my emails. A complete lack of respect for applicants, go imagine for actual employees. Do not be fooled by their “media appearance”, the reality is that the company is a complete mess. When asking the interviewers basic organisational questions, they quickly revealed living in a disorganized, priority-changing mess and being worked to the bone. Apply at your own risk. I would have hated leaving my actual job and relocate only to find the utter-mess they’re in afterwards.
