Hey, I applied for the Data Science scheme. Just completed the video interview a few days ago. Have you been able to find any information on the amount of stages in the application process? Compared to other graduate schemes I haven't been able to find much :/

Hey! Did you do 2 online tests then the video interview? Or do you mean the video interview was the video questions in part of the online tests? Good luck guys!

i hope so i'm not sure when the applications close but i imagine if no one has heard anything yet that maybe they're waiting till after applications close?

So far I've done a coding test, a SJT test and another test that had some video interview questions in it. I got immediate feedback from the coding test but nothing else. I think we're all in the same boat then. I was hoping that they would have an application process webpage that I just missed.

Which programme did you apply to?
Hi guys I am applying to the people graduate scheme. I would appreciate any advice on the video interview tasks! Thanksss

the video parts of the task give you two different options to choose from and you have to explain why you would choose that option over the other ie do you prefer working in a team or on your own. there were only about 5 video questions and they were very easy to answer as in you don't really need to prep

You also get unlimited time from when you read the question before you press record so there's plenty of time to think of a structured answer

It sounds to me like the next step is just the assessment centres which were mostly in Feb and March last year!

Gcse level stats multiple choice, and 2 python problems.

It was held on Codility so doing the problems in the first four lessons on there should help: https://app.codility.com/programmers/lessons/1-iterations/
As far as I remember, space/time complexity wasn't assessed.

Great, thanks!
Has anyone here heard anything yet? I applied to food marketing which has closed for applications and my portal says 'interview requested' but I think it has always said that since after the first test
Yeah I applied to food marketing too and my application is the same. How long ago did you do the interview? It looks like last year people didn’t hear anything until January tho so it might be a while
