Wellington is notorious for the long interview process, with the average candidate having 15-16 interviews before receiving an offer. Candidates interview with the hiring manager, a number of peers in the hiring group, managers and peers from groups across the organisation with whom the candidate will interact, and at least one partner in addition to H.R. Each interviewer fills out a questionnaire summarizing the interview and giving a thumbs up or down. At the end of each round of interviews, usually scheduled 4-5 per 1/2 day session, the assessments are reviews and a decision on whether or not to proceed is made. At the end of the process an offer is tendered. The process is lengthy - in addition to qualification, Wellington takes cultural fit very seriously.
