The interview process started with a phone interview that I never actually received. I had to call them to find out what happened, and they didn't really explain why I missed the call. That interview was really short, only about 10 minutes. Then, I had a face-to-face interview where I was expecting to do some role-playing and interact with customers on the shop floor, which they called a 'road test.' The face-to-face part went okay, but instead of the road test, they asked me to build a bike.

I applied online, and it was a long application form where I had to upload my CV and re-type all the information. It didn't ask for a cover letter or any details about why I'm a good fit. So, it seems like they only consider your application and CV. A few days after applying, I received an email for a telephone interview and had to choose a time slot online. I picked a slot for three days later, and they said they'd call within that hour. I got a reminder email the night before. I made sure to be available during my chosen slot and waited. At 14:37, I got an email stating the position had been filled. I was really unhappy about this.
