It was a 2 stage process, one online and one in person. They were very personable and human. They also asked relevant questions for the role. They got back to me quickly with an offer after the interview.

The communication was smooth throughout the whole process. There were three parts to it: first over the phone, then a video call on Google Teams, and finally an in-person meeting. They asked typical get-to-know-you questions, no surprises.

The day was an Assessment Day. It kicked off with a quick rundown of the company's background, its different departments and specialties, and the areas where it operates. The day's activities included a Group exercise, a Watson Glaser Test, and a 1:1 interview. Once all three parts were finished, everyone was invited for a casual lunch meet-and-greet with current staff.
