2nd Stage: Our second stage is 3 separate interviews completed in the same day, either onsite or online. This is broken down into a technical interview with two of our programmers, an interview with different members of the programming team to go through your CV in more detail, and a final 30 minute conversation with members of staff across different disciplines which gives you the chance to meet some of the talented people that you would be working closely with on an informal basis
