I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sidetrade (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2017
Interview
Two stages in the process.
HR phone screening then a face to face meeting with business development manager followed by a chat with HR.
HR asked questions about relevant experience, motivation, career goals, team experience and explained the company’s vision.
The manager was clear with his expectations, and gave a good insight into the role and the team.
Overall I had a positive experience, HR and the manager were very accommodating and professional.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sidetrade (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2018
Interview
Overall it was a positive experience, I had a call with the recruiter, she told me about the company and role. I was impressed to discover so much about the company and products. I went to the second stage a few days later, it was a mock call and standard face to face interview. You're given a scenario before the call and some tips on what they're expecting, it was challenging but wasn't too difficult. You need to know a bit about their products, I spoke to a CFO so studied their financial offerings. The interviewers and recruiter seem very enthusiastic and have big plans. I was made an offer and was going to accept but I took another job closer to where I live.
