I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (London, England)
Interview
Received an automatic email saying that I needed to do an assesment.
The assesment is timed and you fail it if you change tabs or do a screenshot. You can't google anything. I guess they are more interested in knowing how good you do during an exam (or how good you are at using your phone) rather than your job.
The website and the questions they used for the test were atrocious:
- First, it lags a lot on Firefox and it's impossible to use. They should recommend using Chrome on the email at least.
- I had a connection error and lost my progress.
- There's no syntax highlighting, so reading the code is more difficult than it should.
- Some questions are weirdly written, it doesn't look like good English. Probably not that much of an issue if you're native, but if you're not, you may need to read it a couple of times before you understand it.
- Most of the questions are tricky, pointless and/or niche, and don't reflect an usual real work scenario. Why would you ask a question about CSS columns?
After the first assesment, I received an email saying that the first assesment was sent by mistake, and that I needed to repeat it. At least some of my answers were saved. I repeated it and I haven't heard from them after a month, so I assume they aren't moving forward.
