The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview had 4 main parts: CV review, Hireview, an Online Interview, and an Assessment Centre. It was a pretty standard process. The Assessment Centre included both technical questions and questions about motivation, and these could change depending on the specific team you were applying for.Candidate-reported process
There was one online video interview and one phone call. I dropped out after the phone call and didn't hear back. It might be case by case.Candidate-reported process
Went through 2 online tests, the second one had a video component and was dependent on passing the first. Then had 1 virtual interview for motivation/behavioural, followed by a Superday/AC which consisted of 3 x 30 mins interviews covering technical/fit aspects.Candidate-reported process
