I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arup (Hong Kong) in Apr 2015
Interview
This was in Hong Kong and I got an interview through a contact from another company. The whole process was about 2 hours long but it felt like 3-4 hours. THE WHOLE THING WAS IN ENGLISH, so make sure your English is passable. There was a 10 min English test and 40 min technical test. That technical test was almost everything that you learned from school crammed into a 40 min tests. It was just 4 questions; Calculation, drawings, designs, all the good stuff. they DO NOT CARE about your answers such as if the numbers are X or Y. They want to know HOW you solved it so you can explain it back to someone that do not know engineering. When the test was over, a HR lady came in and gave us a 30min speech about the company and interview process. After that was the 1 hour interview with 2 seniors, one was an engineer and the other one I had no idea what position he was in. He was def not from HR that I can tell. Standard interview but the majority of it was explain the technical test back to them. Make sure you can explain what you wrote, HOW AND WHY! They know the answers already but they just want to see if you can explain it. I had to BS one question because I did not know how to answer it at all. After that they asked me some more standard interview questions.

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.
