Excellent. I really enjoyed the process. I felt valued and respected during the entire process which took no more than 2 weeks.
Having the entire leadership team interview was not intimidating, they were all very personable and professional and made me feel comfortable. They paid attention throughout and having that level of attention paid and timeliness to a decision during the hiring process is a good indication of the importance they place on their staff.

The interview was case study and a presentation, which gave me the opportunity to really demonstrate how I think and work, whilst also showcasing my work.

The hiring process had 3 parts.
The first was a meeting in a coffee shop close to their office in Sydney. This was more like a friendly chat, and the head of one of the Idea Science groups explained what the company did, how it was structured, and what the role was. I talked about what I'd done before and what I was looking for.
The second part was a presentation where I was asked to talk about something I'd worked on before, what the challenges had been and how we'd met them. It was interesting because I think my presentation was pretty short but with all the questions and discussion we ended up taking up a full hour.
The third part was a follow up meeting with 2 people. They asked more questions about how I'd approach different problems, how I'd work within the team, and what I wanted to be doing.
Overall it seemed like a very organised process and different from what I'd experienced before. The presentation part challenged me a bit but I think that was intentional.

I hadn't had an interview process like this before.
The 1st step was to have a chat over coffee with the head of one of the groups - that was informal, with the person providing background about the company, how it started, the growth, the focus areas, and the needs of the role. I was asked to describe myself, what I was good at, what I had achieved, what I was proud about, what sort of place I wanted to work for. There was also some questions about my CV - including why I had left a previous job in less than 6 months. At the end I was asked if I would participate in a "presentation" style interview.
For the presentation interview I was asked to prepare a 5-10 min presentation on something that I had been involved in, and talk about what it was, why, some challenges & how we had solved them, and a bit of background. The actual presentation had 4 people in it and took a lot longer as they asked a lot of questions. The best thing about this was that I felt that I really got to know the type of people I would be working with, and it gave me a lot of confidence that I would like to work here.
