the interview process was pretty chill and straightforward. They asked me some basic questions, like about myself and what I thought the job was about and what my job role would be. It took a bit to hear back, but once they decided to move forward, the onboarding part was quick.

It took G4S about a month to set up my interview. Two people interviewed me, but one was late and didn't seem to care. The interview was mostly about cutting costs. I felt prepared, but I got stuck on one question and admitted I didn't know the answer but would look into it. They decided not to move forward because of that one question, which was frustrating but understandable. Since the pay was low and I had doubts anyway, I wasn't too upset about not getting the job.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you describe your methods for meeting cost reduction goals?
