The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

They asked me about my earliest possible start date and if I needed a work visa. They also asked some technical questions and were really interested in my first two internship experiences.Candidate-reported process
It was about 4 video questions and a situational judgement test where you had to rank scenarios. It took around 20-30 minutes to finish. One video question involved looking at 3 companies and deciding which one was the most sustainable.Candidate-reported process
I had two zoom interviews. The first one tested my technical and business knowledge, and also had situational questions about my experience. The interviewer was friendly and made it easy. The second interview just asked about my past experience, nothing technical.Candidate-reported process
