I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interviewer did not ask any of the questions that were sent to me ahead of time. They asked different questions despite letting them know I would be more than happy to answer the previously received questions. The interview environment was disruptive and the interviewer did not address it.

Easy interview
Application
I interviewed at Co-op (Manchester, England)
Interview
Very impersonal. All done online and the logic between what constitutes a good or bad answer is totally unidentifiable. You would have better luck turning up in person and asking if you can hand in your CV and interview in person instead!
