First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at TPP.
Graduate Role
I had to go to the office in Leeds for an interview. We talked about my CV and I was asked a maths/analysis question to check my problem solving abilities.
- Can you tell me about your CV and why you want to work here?
- Maths/analysis question
Graduate Student
It was a 25 minute maths test at GCSE level done on campus. Then there was a 30 minute one on one interview where we talked about my CV, my university career, I had to explain a technical topic and answer a couple of standard questions.
- Given 25 horses and races of 5 horses at a time, where faster horses always win, what's the minimum number of races to find the three fastest horses?
- Estimate the number of planes currently in the air, using a whiteboard if needed, within 1 minute.
Graduate Assistant
I had a random maths test and then got kicked out. It was super unprofessional, they didn't give me any feedback and weren't interested in talking to me. I definitely wouldn't recommend applying for jobs here. I had to pay for my own transport and took a whole day off for the recruitment, only to end up out of pocket and with no explanation.
- What are your thoughts on how the government managed COVID?
