Candidate-reported interview process

I had a really bad experience with this company's HR team. They messed up my internship application last year and did the same for this graduate role. I asked for feedback about 5 times after they offered it in an email, but they just ignored me.

We had this one hour interview, split into two 30-minute parts. The first half was a technical test, and the second half was a behavioural assessment. Two people interviewed me, one with an electrical background and the other with a mechanical background.

We started with a company introduction, then had a group discussion that wasn't technical. After that, there was a written test, which included an English test and a technical test, and it was difficult. Finally, we visited the company. The whole thing took about 2 hours.
