I applied online. I interviewed at Buzz Bingo (Ipswich, Inglaterra)
Interview
Telephone interview and then got called into a face to face, which was more of a general chat than interview. Simple basic questions about the company and myself, just google common interview questions for prep.
The interview process was structured and involved multiple stages, including a technical screening, coding challenges, and behavioral interviews. The questions were fair but required strong problem-solving skills. The team was professional, and the overall experience was positive, though the technical rounds were quite challenging.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Buzz Bingo (Burnley, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
Waste of my time and energy.
Sent my application along with my CV detailing my experience.
Have a lengthy telephone interview going into more detail about my experience, to then be invited along to a face to face interview.
Drive 1.5 hour round trip to the face to face interview, to spend well over an hour with the interviewer, to be told over a week later that I won’t be progressed because… I HAVE TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE!!!
Poor excuse, and absolute waste of my time!
