I applied online. I interviewed at Government Legal Department (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
Started with a written assessment, where we were given a scenario and questions to answer. The interview came after with a mix of competency-based questions and questions relating to the written assessment. The assessment started 1 hour after the time we were told to log in, and during my interview, we were interrupted multiple times by other candidates clicking on my link to the interview, disrupting me when I answered. The interview itself was good, but the technical issues were very poor on their side.
