Interview
I got a call a few weeks after I applied online. I was told about the company and what the team is made up of. I was asked simple questions and I was told I will be invited for a technical interview soon. I got a call after about 4weeks to schedule a time for the technical interview. I was asked to write a programme to find a number in a Fibonacci sequence. After that I was asked questions along my expertise in optimisation. Examples of minimisation and maximisation problems, how I would solve dynamic problems. I gave examples of real problems I have worked on in the past. They seemed happy with how I answered the questions. I didn't hear again from them until another month where I got a call saying I passed but the position has been filled.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesco (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Dec 2013
Interview
Had the interview with the deputy manager. We had a chat and they asked few questions on how to handle different situations and about different skills I could bring to the role. Pretty standard and relaxed.
The interview was followed by 15 minutes working example on the shop floor where I was paired up with somebody to show me how it's done.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Welwyn Garden City, Inglaterra) in Jun 2017
Interview
Phone Interview followed by a 3 hour on site interview in WGC. The face 2 face was as if it was for a technical architect position.
The 3 on-site stages were: Competency, Code Review and System Design.
Competency was unstructured, no questions about how I would handle situations. I described why I wanted to join Tesco supporting with figures, but the interviewer was unimpressed.
Code Review had no direction. I was shown a project and handed over the laptop. Then it was up to me, to call their code good/bad. pointed out a lot of production issues with the code, which probably didn't sit well with the interviewer.
System design was as if it was for a technical architect. I was expected to know how cryptology with a scanner works.
