Initial coding test- did not get any further. They state through the initial calls/info that you have no need for knowledge at the start. This is incorrect. Prior coding knowledge is key.

Pros: I believe there were 3 or 4 stages. I had only completed 2 assesments, the initial assesment and coding. The first assesment which was more psychometric tests and iq was pretty straightforward, I lked the reasoning/iq part because it was quite original and nothing I have seen before. The task was to find a password having in mind several attempts made already which had letters that matched the correct password. You had to find the correct password given the made attempts and several other words that havent been attempted yet.
Cons: After the inital assesment I waited couple of days and then I got invitation to the next stage which was coding. The problem with this part was that it wasnt very clear from the email that this would be the next stage and also wasnt clear how much time did it require to complete. The questions were quite difficult for an appretice that only had GCSE's and no coding backgroud. There were some interesting questions and I had some coding experience before and was able to complete partially all 3 of them and yet still did not pass through. It does count the times you click out of window so I was careful when I was trying to google since I was not sure what implication it will have.

Was sent a test in which they said it would take an hour however there was 33 questions and most due to amount of information you need to read and collect alone would take 10 minutes each so it took me nearly 3 hours. They then sent me a video in which it spoke about how they care about personality and not your experience or the amount of skill you have but then it proceeded to a Codility test in which I know mid level developers hate and refuse to do them because not only does it not show the work you’d be doing in the future, it’s software isn’t up to date and it’s silly to expect as an entry into software at an apprentice level to be doing this.
