Colloquio
Standard online application process then was invited to online tests.
Then I was invited to the assessment centre which was a half-day event split into writing task, interview and group exercise. Standard interview questions (non-technical), and group exercise to discuss a topic together and reach conclusions within a time-limit.
Unfortunately I never received a reply after taking the assessment centre, despite being told many times I would receive a response within three days for the second technical interview. It has been many months now and after three emails I have received no response so I assume the role has been filled. Unfortunately no feedback is given either despite being told we would at the assessment centre.

Very simple telephone interview just making sure you're a real person and asked a few competency questions. Assessment centre was 9am until around 3pm consisting of 2 individual interviews, one competency and one technical, also there were 2 group tasks discussion based. They told us they would reach a decision just over a week after the assessment centre however I received nothing, I emailed them 1 month after the assessment and didn't get a reply. I emailed again after another month had passed and they said they'd let me know in a week (it was 2 weeks). I also didn't receive any feedback on the interviews even though they assured us we would.

Group interview wasn't engineering related, from memory it was to do with promoting an event/product. Mainly to observe how you communicate, work in a team and problem solve. This was then followed by a presentation of the solution.
Consisted of a 15 minute phone screening chat where they asked general questions about my passion for the industry and what relevant skills I had. They also gave advice on the next steps if I was successful.
