I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paddy Power Betfair (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone-based technical interview. This initial screening was mainly simple object-oriented programming questions, definitions etc.
Coding test to be done within one week (building a simple trading application).
Face to face technical interview with two developers. The questions were quite advanced, but the interviewers were good in explaining the questions well, and seemed as interested in my approach as in the correctness of my answers.
Face to face technical interview with manager and developer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Difference between concurrency and parallelism.
SOLID principles.
Spoke to HR by phone for general job intro. Seemed to go OK and was told would be contacted again. Proper interview scheduled which they cancelled twice - apparently they were dealing with 'HR disciplinary issue' both times. Didn't bother afterwards
