I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Pen CS (Sydney) in Jan 2021
Interview
Applied on Seek. HR got back to me 1 month later for an interview. A basic interview, asked about myself, my experience and skills. They also tested me on my skills too. Went for about a half an hour. They replied back 1 month later with no offer.
That's fine, but I found the interview to be very discouraging in its approach. I felt that there was no connection throughout. The base salary was also surprisingly low for the industry standard.
Some of the questions was pretty ridiculous, I was asked about skills/abilities that wasn't even related to the role (Why is UX important? Are you on Centrelink?).
I would have declined the offer either way.
