I submitted my CV and cover letter. Then I had an online interview where they asked technical and soft skills questions. After that, I went to an assessment centre which included a group exercise, an HR interview, and a technical interview. The online interviewer was a bit condescending, like they were trying to catch me out. But the interviewers at the assessment centre were really welcoming and made it a constructive atmosphere. I had to wait five weeks for feedback, and unfortunately, I wasn't offered the role because of the technical interview.

- How would you size the necessary equipment for this process?
