I had a horrible experience dealing with Arups hiring managers. I travelled to the London recruitment event from Scotland in November, to gain more insight into the role and company. It was a pleasant overall experience and it spurred me on to apply. Once I applied, I received an email 2 weeks later, at the start of December, saying that I successfully passed the initial screening stage, and i was moving on to the telephone stage, where they wrote that i will be expecting a phone call in the coming weeks. I never received this phone call. A month passed, and the hiring managers came back on their word and indicated that there was a massive interest in the role and that there is the likelihood that i will not receive this promised phone interview. This went back and forth and I patiently waited telephone interview until early April (6 months after my initial application) I was emailed a rejection saying the positions had been filled. It is highly unprofessional how disorganised the process is especially for such a reputable firm. It seems "..act honourably in our dealings.." doesn't mean anything to recruiters that dealt with my application.

CV and form with questions about company and industry, followed by an assessment day. Waited more than 3 weeks for their decision, before being rejected on Christmas day. Very positive overall experience spoiled by this.
