The team was friendly and approachable about child benefits, and they answered my questions. The development process was a bit confusing with the presentation versus written exam. It would have been good to have more preparation time.

Started with a really long and difficult online application. Then got an email to set up an interview. Had a panel interview with three people, including the executive I would be supporting. It felt rushed, and one panel member seemed really uninterested, which made me think they had already decided or the role was filled. It felt like a waste of time, honestly. Didn't feel good at all.
