      IT Consultant Interview

      18 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      I applied for a job as an IT Consultant in DWS. It was a quick one and took nearly 2 weeks. Peer interview was really unprofessional. A transparent process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I applied for a job as an IT Consultant in DWS. Recruitment team member called for first round of the interview. It was a general discussion with HR about my experiences and my future prospect. It went really well as I was expected.    Second stage of the interview was Peer interview and then Aptitude test. I completed my aptitude test extremely well. As a result I was contacted by HR team to get my referees. Two referees information was given over the phone. I was confirmed referees have given excellent feedback about me.    Last Friday I received a call from HR and informed me that my application was not successful due to poor performance in Peer interview. I was so surprise to hear that my application was unsuccessful.    My Peer interview was very unprofessional.Peer interview was scheduled to start on 11:00 am a day before my aptitude test. I informed interviewer about my arrival 10 minutes before. Interviewer came 11:15 am. He accompanied me to a coffee shop. I was so surprised that he was going to conduct a professional interview in a coffee shop. Apart from main interviewer there was another person was at the interview.    Moreover with background noise and lot of disturbances interview was held. He requested for my resume. Fortunately, I got a copy of my resume. Immediately I notice that, he was not prepared for the interview or he hasn’t done his prior preparation for the interview. After few minutes he requests his colleague to take control of the interview. Some point he also query from me.  In addition during the interview he answered mobile phone.  May be it is important call for him. It was a distraction for me.  I had to face Peer Interview with all these background noise and interruptions. I tried my level best at Peer interview.  But I think my peer interview day was the worst day of my job hunt. I believe the way interview was conduct really unprofessional and unfair. This was the first time in my career to sit in a coffee shop for a professional interview. As per my colleagues this was not the way DWS has been performed in the past.     My Peer interview was scheduled a day before my aptitude test. After the Peer interview and aptitude test they contacted my referees and received excellent feedback.  In my knowledge if I wasn’t perform well in Peer Interview they should not check reference. It was a big shock to me and my family when I was contacted by HR and informed me I was not selected to the job.    In contrast, recruitment team and the hiring staff were really helpful. Moreover events happened within DWS premises was really impressive.

      Simple process (they explain this on their website too). First was an initial interview with internal recruitment staff, then there was a logic test, and the last stage was technical interview with another staff member who was in the same type of job.
