We had a singular assessment centre for the Graduate scheme which included a group task and an individual interview. It was less about technical skills and more about potential and fitting in with company values. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed overall.

Behavioral Group
The application process was easy. The assessment centre, which was the last step, involved a one-on-one interview and then a group activity. We were told at the end of the day that we'd get a phone call within two weeks with feedback, no matter what. After four weeks with no call, I emailed to check and was told I'd been sent an email two weeks before, which I never got. They supposedly resent it twice but nothing came through and they stopped replying to me. So, I never got official notice of the outcome or any feedback, which was a shame because they seemed really nice and helpful earlier on and even at the assessment centre.

I applied on their website and then had to do some assessments, like psychometric and numerical ones. It was pretty straightforward. After that, I was invited to a virtual assessment centre, and I could pick my own time slot on Zoom.
