Got invited to a teams interview less than 24hrs before the interview. The interview was with two members of the team and I was not well prepped due to lack of time and prior commitments, and lack of notice.

The overall process was very friendly and welcoming, and they really put me at ease. Jordan from recruitment was super helpful and took time to give me constructive feedback, which I appreciated. He's a real asset to the team.

Applied online back in October, and then got a behavioural assessment which I found pretty tough. Heard back in December and was invited to the assessment centre. Had to do a maths test before that. The assessment centre was in January and included three main parts: a presentation task, a group task, and a written task. Finished with a networking session.
