I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alan Blunden & Co (Southend-on-Sea, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
The Interview process consisted of three phases; the online test, the teams meeting and the in-person meeting. The online test was three coderbyte questions testing OOP knowledge. The teams test had lots of questions about OOP principles, databases and development practices. For the in-person interview, travel was subsidised. The questions were similar to the teams interview, but more detailed. The interview finished with some printed out logic questions and a psychometric test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the four principles of Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
The first initial stage was an online test on the Coderbyte platform. It featured 3 questions that had to be done within two hours. The first two questions were easy, but the third question was very difficult and took the longest period of time to complete.

Question 1
The only part of the interview process I took part in, was the initial Coderbyte testing stage, in which I had to program an answer to three different programming questions.
