I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AppZen (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Started with a review with the agent and followed by an unsolicited call by the hiring manager with a direct colleague who I worked with and who knew the him. Interview was in a central London hotel, hiring manager was late and talked a lot about how wonderful he was, would say 75:25 him talking despite my regularly interrupting, which is never a good sign. Felt he was building a boys drinking club rather than a team so was wasn't disappointed when I didn't get the job, just not my think, great if you are 30 something with no family.
My only frustration was being asked to take a peak time train at £140 and not being offered interview expenses. Not good form in my opinion.
All a little bit unprofessional
