I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NICTA (Melbourne) in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview was shot and mostly technical. Questions were mostly around the project. I was informed before hand about the technologies/Languages that I needed to brush up before appearing for the interview. The interviewer was helped me in solving the interview questions that is, when I got stuck at some logical/technical point in the answer he provided me with the required tips so that I could answer the questions effectively.

I applied online. I interviewed at NICTA (Sydney) in Jul 2013
Interview
Applied through NICTA career website for a Researcher/Senior Researcher (software Systems group) position. 3 weeks no answer. I called and ask HR who passed my follow up to the team leader. Received email after one week stating my resume didn't make it for the next stage as they receive so many applications. I asked for specific feedback (which criteria I didn't meet) but no answer (was very rude!)
My qualification, work experience and work align very well with the selection criteria. I have prepared all the required documents (detailed CV, publications, future research statements, cover letter, and references). The response was not reasonable. couple of Chines who the team lead knows have been hired without any interviews or job application.

Question 1
No question or reasonable interview response have been given..Don't waste your time to work in such environment. it's unstable and controlled by lobbies
