I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netbuilder (London, England) in Jul 2015
Interview
Assessment day. Around 20 people attended, and they assigned us 19 tasks.
A bit chaotic, probably intentional to see how we do in that type of situation.
they called out candidates for interview throughout the day for interview.
Interview itself were easy.
There was a mix of people from Computer Science background, Physics, Engineering... etc. So for some it would be harder to stand out.
I did not get the offer in the end, but my advice would be on the day: be involved!
Don't be in the background and make yourself present and memorable.
Also know the the principles of Java for the interview. Its important.
Interview questions [1]

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Netbuilder (Manchester, England) in May 2015
Interview
An initial telephone interview by the recruitment team which were exceptionally friendly and extremely helpful with answering any questions.
The assessment day was challenging and enjoyable at the same time, it makes you start to think about every little detail in even the simplest of tasks.
At no point did I feel like I was under any serious pressure or scrutiny from recruiters and trainers. They were highly professional and welcoming.
Even the meet and greet of current trainees was good as they didnt have a bad thing to say.
