Interview
I applied online and get a reply after a week or so for a phone interview. I thought the phone interview was quite difficult as they were absolutetly no questions on me/ my background and solely on my knowledge of the company, and some scenario based questions. Overall, the person on the phone was kind but it really felt like he was following a ready made script with not a lot of "human touch". I am still waiting to know if I made it to the assessment centre.
first round: group interview including a 10 mins presentation and a written test (essays on EIA) that last for 30-45 mins approximately
second round: interview by managers fir around 30 mins
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Arup (London, England)
Interview
Met with different people from the team over the course of a few hours. Asked typical questions about motivation, experience. Asked to present recommendations based on data given.
All seemed well. But then they took over a month to get back to me despite my following up and only did so via email. Would have preferred a call after all that waiting. A further month to get the feedback which they promise to give. Interview team are great, HR not so much. Left a sour taste that they treat people they don't want that badly. From what I've heard, people not selected for interview only got told they were unsuccessful months after the role had been given away.
Online Tests; The standard logic and math tests
Online assesment center, including long case study and presentation where I had 30 minutes to prepare a slide. Good experience overall, but would have prefered in-person
