Just an initial chat with the head of change, I felt they were not serious about getting someone with public sector experience because some delivery elements I spoke about and are implemented in the public sector projects didn't seem to ring the bell for the interviewer. I wasn't sure he asked the right question to get the right answers, so I was judged that I don't know about agile when I wasn't asked a specific question about agile project philosophy, I was asked if I worked on projects with Agile or Waterfall but not to elaborate on how I utilised Agile in those project for example.

I interviewed at The Guinness Partnership (Manchester, England)
Interview
Interview process is exhaustive and interesting. Mainly consists of at least 3 rounds including 2 technical rounds. For technical roles coding challenges would be provided. Work environment is quite good.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Guinness Partnership (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
All seemed as they were conducting this to show the diversity to tick the box of equal employer, as interviewers from start till end seems bored not showing empathy, energetic to conduct this interview, but it wasted my time effort and money as travelling and parking fees , overall they asked basic questions with 2 scenarios for a good job but still DID NOT offered job, shame
