I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Crawley, West Sussex, South East England, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
The application process was very slow.
It took around 3 weeks from applying to getting an interview and that was aided by someone internally speaking to one of the hiring managers.
The interview was good, I was asked thoughtful questions and a little test on my analytical skills and what would I feel needed to be clarified with the cost centre managers based on the information available as this would form a key part of the role.
I didn't hear anything for just over 2 weeks post interview and again I get the impression I only heard back due to the internal person following up with a hiring manager.
Ultimately I didn't get the position due to where I live as the main hiring manager thought it was too far. (Even though my husband already works there and has done for 5 years) but otherwise they thought I would be able to do well in the role.
