The interviewer was very organized and explained the process clearly, which was impressive. The questions asked seemed authentic and appropriate for the role, with no unexpected topics. The company is well-known and attracts high-caliber candidates.

The hiring process was two stages, which was clear from the start. After the first interview went well, I got an email saying I wasn't successful. Later that week, I got another email inviting me to a second stage interview. I confirmed with recruitment and set a time. The second stage involved preparing a presentation. The second panel seemed uninterested and the experience was cold compared to the first. I didn't hear back. After two weeks, I followed up with recruitment, but got no response. Over a month later, I got an automated message saying I was unsuccessful. I didn't even know there was a third stage! I was disappointed after all the time preparing the interviews and task, to be blanked and not even given a chance for feedback. Very negative experience and I won't apply to future roles here.

It was two interviews focused on competencies. The first one felt really good, more like a chat, and I felt like I could work with them. The second one wasn't as good, the panel showed up 20 minutes late and the interview was way more confrontational rather than a discussion. I didn't leave wanting to work there or thinking I'd get an offer, so it felt like a waste of my time just to fill a shortlist.
