I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at First Derivatives (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied for the job online by uploading my CV. I received an email the following day requesting I attend an interview the following week. The interview consisted of two face to face interviews followed by a logic exam. The interviewers were very friendly. Each interview was about 15 minutes long. They asked general questions about myself and what I know about the company. You need to have done your research on FD, their clients, and software. The logic exam consisted of flow charts, there wasn't enough time to finish it, however the interviewers did tell us that they base their recruitment mainly on your interviews.
