I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Jacobs (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
I had a remote interview which went really well and the interviewer said on the spot they would like to hire me, and even suggested the team they would put me in. I waited 2 weeks for follow-up contact which never came, so I reached out to them, and they promised to send me a contract which never came. After a further week I contact them myself to withdraw, citing terrible candidate management. Luckily I was in the running for another job, and didn't have my heart set on this.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Jacobs (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Overall a smooth Process. Really nice staff and good interview questions. more of a conversation than an interview. Type of questions they ask is competency based questions e.g. "think of a time"..etc
Informal discussion asking about experience so far, aspirations, skill sets. Seemed like a pre-screening interview with the hiring managers. Virtual meeting - reasonably informal, polite and professional. Informed about company current projects.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jacobs in Jun 2025
Interview
Easy interview, worst part is the background check, the service they use is really outdated in their process that required me to do a lot of work myself. The service seemed very unorganized
