I applied online. I interviewed at Arup (Newcastle, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
4-part application process: started with an application online, once successful with this had a phone interview with HR. Then a long wait until I was invited to an assessment centre. After this, things moved quickly - I was invited to a final office visit/interview, and then made an offer the next day.
Very pain-free process compared to most graduate roles - application questions relevant to the job and thought-provoking, no online tests, and the assessment centre was very relaxed, while still assessing us effectively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think about Arup's core values? How would you change what you do at work to reflect them?
1 hour long interview, and asking a lot of behavioural questions. Ask you what you learned through experiences. They also give insight into how the job environments will be and how the role is like.
Online application including CV. Online platform testing and company questions. Followed by an online Assessment Centre, which lasted a full day and included interview and activities. Offer (via Phone call) followed a day later.
This is honestly the worst experience I have ever had with any company ever, no fault with the company but their hr team needs to get fired immediately.
They completely wronged me last year for my internship applications and now they did the same for the graduate.
Asked for feedback (which they offered in an email) about 5 times and was repeatedly ignored.
