I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Netbuilder (Manchester, England) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who interviewed be immediately. It was very informal and basocally him asking general questions regarding my career plans. He went on to invite my to the assessment day.
The assessment day is structured really well beginning at 10am and ending at 5pm. The end of the day lasted longer but it was a really fun day.
Beginning with an intro presentation by the companies representatives the day started well enough. We was then informed about group tasks and that interviews would run along side these tasks.
At first it came across that the room would be split into groups however the entire 23 people room came as one group.
A project manager was elected and the tasks split between numerous people. Even organising lunch was a group task.
The interviews where one techical and one business and these where focusing on your technical expertise and your academia and expectations in terms of salary.

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter from the company who had found my details on a job board. She was very friendly. Given a simple test to complete upon arrival. The interviewer boasted about how good the company was and seemed to be looking for a very experienced programmer. Not sure about the company as a whole, I did find it strange that they had 5 very positive reviews on Glassdoor on Sep 4, 2014.

It started with phone interview where I was asked basic questions about the role and my education, experience. I was invited to the assessment day after the phone interview.

We had to take on Java basic test and then select a project manager which would allocate us tasks to fit into the time frame. We had to arrange our lunch as well, which was kinda interesting, but due to being to focused on the tasks, we just ordered Dominos Pizza. Through the day we had to business (personality) and technical (Programming and education) interviews, they were 15mins each. At the end of the day we presesnted our tasks in front of current employees and explained what difficulties we faced.
