Question 1
What do you expect to find in a bigger company that you didn't find in a start-up?
I applied online. I interviewed at Cochlear (Sydney) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was an online interview. The HR who interviewed me was very professional and knowledgeable, I feel he knows what kind of person is looking for and may have accounting background.
Met with the recruiter via video call for a chat, basic questions such as background and why I wish to join the company. There's no system update or response from the recruiter after I sent a follow up email 2 weeks later.
