Application
I applied online. I interviewed at First Derivatives.
Interview
Very biased interview process.
The correct and fair way to conduct an interview is with a panel, including employees from HR and someone from the department of the job vacany; plus questions should be set and scored to avoid bias. First Derivatives do not interview with a panel, you are interviewed by one HR person who does not ask set questions and has no real knowledge of the job role when asked.
