Entrevista
Having kindly been put up for the night, the day started at breakfast meeting other candidates (very easy to spot!)
All got a taxi over to the site together and mixed with the non-hotel folks briefly before "networking" with some of the interviewers over coffee.
The morning consisted of some HR stuff, resitting the numerical test and a personal interview with a prepared presentation and some competency questions.
More networking at lunchtime! A good chance to meet a lot of very interesting people with some cool experiences.
Then time for the technical interview. It was with one of the people that I'd spoken to at lunchtime which relaxed me a little but left me with no questions to ask at the end (I'd already probed all of his thoughts experiences and kind of wanted to escape at this point after floundering at a few of the technical questions!!)
Team exercise involved building a structure and there was a chance to speak to a graduate after that.
Enjoyable but absolutely exhausting day.
I wasn't for them though and when I phoned to arrange feedback they never got back to me

Amazing friendly interviewer and felt that process was an evaluation of you as a person rather than a competition between applicants. The presentations were kept to a minimum whilst still giving insight as to what the company was like to work for

They had three parts: a case study, a presentation I had to prepare beforehand, and a standard interview. The process flowed well and gave me different ways to show what I could do.
The whole interview felt thorough and well-structured. The case study was fair, and I appreciated getting to present something I'd researched myself. The interviewers were genuinely welcoming, and they answered all my questions about the role and company culture, which made it feel like a proper two-way conversation.
One valuable aspect was meeting the other candidates online. It was good to see who else was going for the role and didn't feel competitive (more like getting a preview of potential teammates).
The whole experience felt very professional and thoughtful. You can tell they put effort into their recruitment process, which says good things about how they treat their graduates once you're there. I learned a lot about the company and came away feeling more confident about what I want in my career.
Would recommend applying if you're considering it - the process itself is worthwhile.
