If you want to make an impact or be able to work your wage, I would go elsewhere. First, there was an interview networking day where you got to meet a lot of the current people on the programme, and most of them were friendly but lacked any real depth. Then the following day was a really long assessment centre, which was unnecessarily long. During my assessment centre, it definitely felt like they were trying to catch you out even though they kept saying they weren't. There was very little to no diversity in the people interviewing and so it was clearly not valued at the company, with lacklustre responses given to how this has been valued. The day consisted of a presentation, three individual interviews, one case study, one group exercise and an hour to prepare the case study. The group exercise was again just subject to what was written on your cards, and it seemed some people there were trying to be difficult on purpose. In my first interview with two people, it seemed like they just wanted to berate experiences. In my first individual interview, the man was clearly very senior and yawned in my face halfway through, and was clearly being forced to do this. Overall, I think they shouldn't do as long a day if they want people to actually have motivation, because it just became very intense, a long grilling, and not really worth the effort

Dopo un primo colloquio positivo con le risorse umane, ho preso parte al loro test tecnico. Ho una laurea in matematica e mi era stato assicurato che non sarebbe stato svantaggioso per questo test, grazie alla presenza di domande di logica, inglese e un codice da compilare in un linguaggio a propria scelta. Per i primi due argomenti non c'è stato alcun problema ma la fregatura (per la mia preparazione accademica) è stata la parte di programmazione che, contrariamente da come mi era stato detto, consisteva in 3/5 del test e soprattutto era infattibile per qualcuno con le mie conoscenze. Ovviamente nei giorni successivi mi è arrivata una mail con scritto che non volevano proseguire con me per il lavoro. Quello che posso dire è che non possono pretendere che fisici o matematici abbiano quella padronanza nella programmazione.
