it was a video interview where they asked me 10 questions. I had about 30 seconds to prepare for each question and 3 minutes to answer. I think responding quickly and answering fluently in English is important to pass and move to the next stage.

Presentation Behavioral
I got an email from HR a few days before the interview. They told me that the panel wanted us to get ready a 2 minute presentation for ourselves. It had to introduce us, pitch to a specific audience, and highlight our education and career journey. The interview had 3 panel members asking questions. Many behavioural questions were really long and wordy, often with two parts, making them hard to follow and answer all parts clearly. The panel said I would hear back next week or maybe in a couple weeks, depending on HR. The job was a fixed term contract until December 2024. It's been almost 6 weeks and I still haven't heard anything about the outcome. As a graduate from UWA, I thought the university's lack of follow up was especially rude.

The company offers a good working environment if you're looking for a stable job with a solid retirement plan. It's a collegial place to work, and they emphasize that candidates must have a strong research background and really enjoy interacting with students. Work-life balance is superb, and the commute is great if you happen to live near the University. Plus, the office has a view of the swan river.
