Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Wates Group.
Site Manager
The interview process was nice and easy with normal questions. I liked it because it helped me understand the process. There weren't too many questions, and the team was very nice. They gave me time to think before I responded.
- What are the responsibilities of a site manager on a busy site?
Design Manager
I did really well for all the stages of the application process and reached the assessment centre. I was notified within a week that I’d done exceptionally well and been accepted into the company, with a high salary and an additional budget for a car, among other perks. This was revealed in a phone call and nothing through email. Over the next week it began to bug me so I reached out to them several times regarding a written confirmation. I even tried calling the number only to receive no response. Eventually a month passed and I finally got a phone call back. They suddenly mentioned how the role no longer exists due to covid restrictions and they will not be sending written confirmation of anything as I am no longer needed.
- Did a group activity where I had to read through four scenarios and come up with a solution for each.
- Had a one to one casual interview to see if the company is right for me.
- Did an aspiration presentation to see if my goals align with the company’s.
Design Manager
The online interview felt a bit distant, I think it would have been better in person. It was a bit too laid back, and I didn't probe enough with my questions because I wasn't really prepped for it, especially since it was a career change. Overall it was a decent experience, but I didn't get any feedback, just a rejection.
- Can you walk me through your previous work experience?
