Dealing with Post Office staff is fine, but Morsons, their recruiter, are so disorganized that it puts you off working with them entirely. Not only that, they consistently sent me the wrong job description, and when I joined it was for the wrong job title.

  • Can you describe your work experience and how you would handle certain situations?

The interview process was a bit disorganized, but everyone was friendly. Some questions didn't seem relevant to me. They took a while to respond. I didn't ask for feedback but I'm regretting it now. There was an online task that I found challenging.

The interview process was nice and friendly, focusing on STAR-related behavioral questions. It consisted of 3 steps: an initial call with the internal recruiter, followed by interviews with the director and a senior product manager, and concluding with the head of product, who had recently joined. The entire process was completed within 4 weeks.

Behavioral

I interviewed for a cybersecurity role and the questions were mainly about my experience and CV. The interviewers were nice and friendly. I didn't get an offer, which made sense because the role seemed too junior for me, given my more senior experience. The feedback I got confirmed this. It had been a while since I last interviewed for a position at this level.
