Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Ocado Group (Hatfield, East of England, England) nel mese di feb 2015
Colloquio
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.
First round :
Codility online test : 3 programs to be completed.
Very easy if you have worked on examples in Codility website. Try to get 100% results while working on examples.
In test, I could complete 2 programs but could not complete the 3rd one. But they selected me for 2nd round of interview which was at their office in Hatfield.
Second round :
Two paper based tests in this 2nd round.
1st paper based test was on pseudo code. Some questions are fill in the blanks and some questions are write code for the function. They would have defined some inbuilt functions like (ZERO X : initialise the variable x with value 0,
INCR X : initialise the value of the variable x with 1,
ASSIGN (X,Y) : Assign the value of Y to X, X=Y,
LOOP(X) : run the instructions written inside the loop for X times )
Questions are mainly on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, finding the biggest number (out of 2 numbers) etc..using the predefined functions and also you can use the functions that has already defined in the previous questions. For example if 1st question is ADD(X,Y) and 2nd question is SUBT(X,Y) and 3rd question is MULT(X,Y), while solving the 3rd question you can use the function that was in first question that is ADD(X,Y).
Try to be fast in solving the questions.
2nd paper based test was on Java singly linked list implementation. Some questions are fill in the blanks and some are write code for the function. If you practice the implementation of linked list in java(Insert, delete, count...) by understanding, you can clear this test.
One more important thing : They do not consider combined score of the two tests. In 1st paper based test passing marks is 15 out of 20 and 2nd paper based test passing marks is 6 out of 10. So concentrate on both tests. I took lot of time in understanding 1st paper so did not solve many questions. There were 13 questions in 1st paper and around 5 questions in 2nd paper.
