We started with some questions about me and then moved on to competency-based questions. The interview lasted over an hour, but the interviewer was very nice. He mentioned that he's interviewing more candidates over the next few weeks and will let me know the outcome.

It was a personal, in-depth, and quick interview process. They asked tough questions about my personality and thinking style, my hardest achievements, and proudest moments. I hadn't prepared for the personal questions but answered honestly, which seemed to work well!

Behavioral Technical
I got a phone call asking when I was free and then was told the time and date. No email or message to confirm. The colleagues were friendly and accommodating, and offered me a drink. But when I started the interview, the manager told me to relax and that they were just getting to know me. Then they started asking difficult questions like weaknesses and incapability. I left feeling confident. Then I got an email 4 hours later saying I wasn't successful. I was shocked because the manager said they still had 2 more weeks of interviews. It felt disrespectful to waste people's time for interviews you wouldn't accept. Then I got emails every month saying I was unsuccessful, even after the first one.

I went through their assessment centre about 3 months ago. It included a numerical test, a design a kitchen activity, and a group SWOT analysis. Then there was a 2v1 interview with some random team members. The whole thing was pretty chill. But it's best to be ready for what Wickes does in the industry for the group exercise.
