Applied for the position on the DS website after viewing it on LinkedIn., in early Jan 2018. Within a week I had completed a HR screening and both the recruitment team and I were happy with everything and decided to move to the next stage. Stage 2 was a technical interview which was conducted by a senior architect and over the phone. Lasted 45 mins and went well, good conversation as we both had plenty of chance to speak. About 7 weeks after the initial application I had my F2F with the line manager which was almost entirely about my experience and what motivates me. About 3 days later I was informed by the recruitment team that DS will be making an offer. Verbal offer was made and agreed with about 10 days after my F2F interview. Finally, the written contract was issued via email approximately 2 months after applying.
