initial stage consisted of a long online written assessment which tested logic, math, and writing. Done at home through a virtual workspace. You just have to complete all the questions and submit the word documents

The first round was CV and cover letter. This was followed by a virtual assessment centre, and finally an in-person interview. The virtual assessment centre was okay and they did a good job of making the work seem exciting. My main complaint is that we were told we had to prepare certain things beforehand which we didn’t need to prepare, so I wasted my time. I was then invited to an in-person interview, but when I got there, one of the interviewers was on the screen using zoom. I therefore spent lots of money and time going to the office unnecessarily, and when I asked for reimbursement, I was aired. The interview itself was not incredibly difficult, but the interviewers (who were senior management) seemed absolutely uninterested. They started late despite not interviewing anyone directly before me. They hadn’t read my CV beforehand. It seemed like they were scoffing at my lack of experience (even though I met the minimum requirements)- what was the point in inviting me all the way to your office for interview then? I understand if my experience isn’t as impressive compared to other applicant, but at least treat me with respect. When I started a conversation about climate change, they made some remarks which I thought were inappropriate and made light of a very serious topic. If I had to say another positive thing, at least the recruitment cycle was very quick. At each stage I heard back after a few days.
