      Test Manager Interview

      10 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bracknell, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (Bracknell, England) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Very slow process. A total of 8 weeks from initial application to face-to-face interview. After the initial sift there was a routine telephone interview, then a long delay before the second interview was arranged. The second interview consisted of a case study, upon which a presentation had to be prepared before the interview. The case study was not very clearly explained and seems to have been made deliberately ambiguous. The presentation was followed by competence based questions. The interviewers seemed friendly enough, but I had the feeling all along that they were going through the motions. I was easily well qualified for the role, in fact probably even too senior, and this may have been seen as a threat to some people. They refused to provide proper feedback after the interview, which was puerile and thoroughly unprofessional.
