I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paddy Power Betfair (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2011
Interview
Just a single face-to-face interview with two people - the guy who would be my boss, and his boss (the head of the group). It was basically a chat about my skills, and a discussion of the type of work that the role involved. It was very relaxed overall. It alternated between them asking questions about my skills, and me asking questions about the role to make sure that I understood it correctly.

Question 1
What is your understanding of what the other employees in the group you would be working in do?
Spoke to HR by phone for general job intro. Seemed to go OK and was told would be contacted again. Proper interview scheduled which they cancelled twice - apparently they were dealing with 'HR disciplinary issue' both times. Didn't bother afterwards
