The process consisted of: Initial Teams interview with the team lead Personality assessment Final in-person interview including a basic Excel task and interviews with the team lead, CFO, and HR (with HR questions largely following up on the personality assessment) The interview questions were mostly standard competency and situational questions. The role was advertised at up to £30,000 and required full-time hours (9–6) with attendance in the Southall office five days a week. The mandatory in-person attendance is worth factoring into overall compensation expectations, particularly as there were limited job benefits discussed. Following the initial offer, I requested a revised salary in the range of £35,000 based on market rates and my experience. The company countered with £32,500; however, the offer was later withdrawn with feedback citing concerns around “the level of drive, energy, motivation, and proactive engagement demonstrated following the conditional offer.” I followed up to request further clarification on this feedback but did not receive a response, which made it difficult to understand the decision and left the process feeling inconsistent. Overall, the role may suit candidates looking to enter the industry and gain foundational experience, but it is worth clarifying salary expectations and progression opportunities upfront. Comparable roles with similar responsibilities can offer higher compensation and more comprehensive benefits packages.
