The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discover in Jul 2021
Interview
I had an initial 30 minutes telephone interview with the recruiter, which went very well. The recruiter then advised that she would move me forward to the next stage and arrange a F2F with the hiring manager, and to expect an update within a few days. Having not heard back from the recruiter after waiting for five days, I sent a follow-up email to reaffirm my interest in the role and subsequently asked the recruiter for an update on the f2f interview.
I also called the recuiter twice and left a VM but never got a response back.
I have now decided to retract my application as the recruitment experience was below what I expected from an established organisation such as Discove. Furthermore, the recruiter‘s performance and approach was unprofessional which sadly reflects on the company too.
She is also a reason why so many good recruiters get a bad name!

Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Discover (Farnborough, Hampshire, South East England, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
No introduction about the company, no questions about what I know about Discover, no questions about why I was interested the job.
Quick fire questions, asked for a final score on what I knew about tech out of 10.
I think the jobs been up for ages and they've lost their rag with the interview process.

Interview
Very nice, informative process. Detailed, structured and in-depth with quick feedback and follow ups. The interviewers were all friendly and knowledgeable, the questions were relevant and the entire process felt more like a roundtable chat than an interview.
