Interview
I applied for a graduate engineering role. They got in touch with me to ask me to come in for interview. I was given the impression that it would be an initial chat, but was presented with a whole written maths test. The interview went on for twice as long as I'd expected.
Team members seemed distracted and disinterested and more interested in playing video games and calling across the office to each other than actual speaking with me.
Really unprofessional, childish atmosphere.
They never contacted me again afterwards, including responding to follow up emails I sent. I would have appreciated being told it was a no instead of just being ghosted.
Signed in on a robot (plastic toy holding an ipad). Had to give a presentation on a topic of your choice, followed by some problem solving tests, and a comprehension test on the culture of the place. Culture seemed a bit cult like personally. Finished with a short interview, with someone from the tech team.

Interview
- Submitted CV only
- General Aptitude tests (definitely need pen and paper for notes)
- Culture fit interview (phone based approx 15 mins)
- More aptitude tests - this one much harder, similar to A Level Maths, more theory than calculation
- Recorded 2 min presentation about a topic of choice.
- Assessment Centre (the earliest one was 2 months ahead)
The assessment centre itself was about three hours:
- Involved one quick personal interview about ambition
- Then one personality interview
- Two technical tests (One generally about theory and the other a basic python test)
The interviewers seemed very disorganized and didn't look like they knew what they were doing. Heard back absolutely nothing afterward, not even a rejection email. Very frustrating especially after such a long interview process, absolute waste of time.
