Very casual approach, not too many steps to progress through, but trying to get updates was difficult. I understand the security requirements but if they are trying to get the top talent it needs to change.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will you adapt moving from a private to semi public sector
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AWE (Reading, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Very difficult, a lot of effort and intense. They expect you to do A LOT of preparation. However the feedback you receive post interview is very detailed. A mixture of 1-2-1 interview and group based activities.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How did you seek support when you were faced with a challenge
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AWE (Aldermaston, England) in Aug 2024
Interview
One interview lasted about 1 hour. I was asked to do a presentation talking about time, cost and quality of a project I have managed. They were not particularly interested in the presentation, it seemed to be a HR tickbox. The interview asked standard technical project management questions and was a medium level of relaxed.
