All our teams follow roughly the same process, so if you fail a coding test we generally recommend you wait some time (9-12 months) before re-applying.

Im afraid I do not. For many locations the Visa requirements will be prohibitive for short term internships, but that varies heavily between offices.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2016) on Monday November 07, 2016 @05:36AM (#12890081)
We are not able to sponsor Visa's for our internships, but if you already have the right to work in the UK then please do apply.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2016) on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @12:28PM (#12847358)
