Very professional and straightforward. The interviewers were welcoming and set a positive tone. They asked thought-provoking questions that assessed my skills, experiences, and problem-solving abilities. I felt a bit nervous initially but quickly gained confidence as I delved into my past achievements and relevant projects. The interviewers seemed genuinely interested in my responses and engaged in meaningful conversations.

There were two parts to the interview. The interview and a two and a half hour written test. Whilst sat in reception, next to what appeared to be either a radioactive tank of water, or a fish tank which had not been cleaned in several decades. waiting for my interview, there was some fracas between a few people out of view, but within earshot. This consisted of a lot of swearing and moaning that they had too much work and management knew about and did nothing. This obviously set alarm bells off in my head, especially as I had already read about this company on Glass Door. While the interviewers were friendly, I sensed that there wasn't much in the way of preparation for the interview and the questions I was asked could have been answered by reading my CV which they had copies of. The second part of the test involved writing responses to a small variety of different questions, e.g. testing communication in hypothetical e-mails. The laptop I was given to work on would have been better served as a paperweight as it couldn't handle basic and low intensity applications such as MS word: I had to resort to using notepad! When I had finished this exam process, I was whisked out of the building rather sharpish. I was told that I would be contacted about this role within 2 days. This did not happen. When I finally got feedback, I was told that my performance on the test was not what they were looking for, but they couldn't communicate why or address specifically what they were looking for. I thought this was somewhat ironic, given they had tested my on my communication skills.
