Very quick, couple of chats with manager and wider team. As long as you are keen to deliver excellent Customer service you will do great!!! Come prepared with questions to ask interviewers. Overall great experience
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesco (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
1. Recruiter call
2. Tech Screening with Hiring Manager
3. Coding / Pair Programming
4. System Design
This is as far as I got, there would have been an extra stage had I progressed.
All stages seemed reasonable and what I would expect, interviewers all friendly and encouraging.
Sadly the recruiter ghosted me after all of that time interviewing so I need to mark it as a negative experience. I felt really disrespected and disappointed to not have received any feedback. After multiple attempts of trying to get an update from him, 3 months later I received an automated rejection.
Experience was typical for this level of job, interviewers were efficient and business-like, asking routine questions. Opportunity was given to ask questions at the end of the interview about length of probation period, holiday entitlement and sick-pay provision.
