The interview process consisted of two main parts. First, there was a formal interview with both a manager and a director. After that, we moved on to a group activity. In this activity, we had to discuss and collectively decide on ten essential items we would take with us if we were in an emergency situation on a ship.

Technical Behavioral

Interviewed a few years back - leadership in the Digital and MarTech space was very condescending. I had some technical issues for the assessment site for one of the tests and despite a decent interview, the next interview then got cancelled with the comment 'I thought your test score would be higher', even though I explained previously why one of the tests could not be completed as my PC played up and I had less time to complete the assessment.

It's a really straightforward process. There are two main interview stages, and then we decide on the candidates. We also have a psychometric test to complete, and if you pass that, you usually get an offer pretty quickly. The interview questions and how they're asked can differ depending on the hiring manager.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What value can you bring to our team, and do you have any past experiences of successful deliveries?
  • Could you tell us about your relevant successful delivery experience and the value you can add?
