The interview process took place in large group sessions due to a high volume of applicants, with approximately 15–20 candidates per session and multiple groups being run overall. This format was not communicated in advance.
Each session began with a brief introduction from the facilitators, followed by structured group and paired activities designed to assess communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. While the process was organised and efficient from a logistical standpoint, it felt quite fast-paced and somewhat impersonal from a candidate perspective.
The group format limited opportunities for individual interaction, and the reliance on group-based exercises meant there was less scope to demonstrate skills in a traditional one-on-one interview setting. Overall, while I understand the need to manage a large applicant pool, the structure made it difficult to feel like an individual candidate was being fully assessed on their own merits.
