I applied online. I interviewed at Compare The Market (London, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
6 stages including multiple tech tests, an IQ test, and a presentation.
The final stage was a presentation, pseudo tech test, and a final interview in the London office. Honestly, I feel like anyone would know if they are going to hire you or not after the first few stages of interview, IQ test, tech test with out the final 3 stages.
I was told after the last 3 stages that I would get a phone call by the end of the week.. Three weeks later I received a generic email on Christmas eve saying "We enjoyed looking at your CV but have decided to go forward with other candidates that skills align more closely to our vacancy."
Incredibly dehumanising after all of the time, energy, and money spent researching, coding, and travel made for this role.

Interview
They ghosted me after third interview. Very disappointing. At first they schelcided two interviews and all went very well. Recruiter told me they like me and ready to make an offer. But then last minute they scheduled a third interview, after which they ghosted me.

Interview
I had a call with the recruiter who thought I was great fit, talked about salary, the job and general screening, then I got invited to an interview the the hiring manager which went well apparently, then I went to the tech interview where they ask me to do system design, which seemed really well and the interviewers appeared happy with it. Then they became radio silent, I contacted their internal recruiter who promised to chase back as someone apparently got sick after my interview and basically got ghosted after that. It's very disappointing they don't even bother sending an email letting me know or giving me any feedback.
