The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dock & Bay in Sept 2025
Interview
1. Initial interview with people lead - this was a general vibe check with some technical questions, but nothing too detailed
2. Interview with line manager - slightly more technical interview, getting into the detail of the JD and asking more specific questions
3. Final stage interview with CEO and line manager - asked to prepare a task and then present the task in person, along with a 30 min interview which was led by the CEO. Got asked a lot of detailed questions.
Note on outcome of interview process:
Was not offered the role. Received a generic email letting me know I had been unsuccessful. The email was clearly a template that had been amended with my name, and within the email it said that Dock & Bay would not be able to provide feedback. I would not expect this for a final stage interview. Pretty demoralising when you put a lot of effort and preparation into each stage. Dock & Bay should reconsider how they handle rejecting candidates at final stages - I would expect more from a small company that prides itself on positive culture, and I was more disappointed in their approach than the actual outcome itself.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dock & Bay
Interview
Standard video call with generic questions like talk me through your experience. Limited feedback given afterwards. Interviewer seemed a bit distracted at times. Didn’t really feel like they were that interested in listening to my answers.

I did 4 rounds:
1. Call with HR to learn more about the role & myself! Pretty high level
2. Video call with my manager
3. 2nd video call with my manager to present 2 quick projects that related to the role

Every interview was intentional and ended with clear next steps!
