Applied on the website and then had to wait a few months. Had an online interview over Teams, then waited a couple more months for a face to face interview, but got no feedback. Emailed for feedback and was told they were still making a decision and should have a response in the next couple of weeks. Never heard back from them. Don't bother applying as they'll just waste your time.

applied online, then took a logical, numerical, and verbal test. This was followed by a telephone interview, a face-to-face interview, and finally a virtual interview. The telephone interview focused heavily on competency-based questions. The face-to-face interview was based on a personality test, which made it difficult to prepare for, and also included several competency-based questions. The virtual interview consisted of six short questions, with 40 seconds to prepare and about 2 minutes to answer each.
