I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forge Holiday Group (Chester, England) in Jun 2025
Interview
I’ve applied for four web developer roles at Forge Holiday Group (formerly Sykes) between 2018 and 2025, ranging from junior to senior levels. Each time, I took part in multi-stage interviews, dedicating a significant amount of time and effort to the process.
Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently frustrating. Communication between stages often felt disjointed — I was asked similar or repeated questions across interviews, suggesting a lack of internal coordination. After each process, I received the same generic rejection email, with no feedback provided despite the time invested.
I completely understand that not every candidate will be successful. But after four interviews over several years, it’s disheartening to never receive even a sentence of constructive feedback. It leaves the impression that once you’re no longer in consideration, you’re simply dropped from the process.
I hope the company will consider improving how it engages with candidates — especially those who invest time across multiple applications. A small effort toward more personalised communication could go a long way.
