Group interview with individual interviews at the end. Problem solving based interview style.
Very friendly and efficient. Super responsive and rapid. Once I applied and received the first call, the process was only 1 week.
The phone interview was very good, and it went smoothly no unusual questions were asked. The group assessment also went very well were we built Lego as a team and calmed my nerves. However, the one-on-one interview didn't go very well. They asked a question related to Finite Element Analysis but it wasn't worded correctly and was very confusing. There was also a question about the engineering lifecycle, but every company has different lifecycles so I also don't think that is the best question to ask.
The recruitment process involved a phone interview followed by an engagement centre. The phone interview felt more like a relaxed conversation, focusing on my motivations for applying and giving the recruiter an opportunity to get to know me better. The engagement centre was a half-day event that began with an icebreaker Lego activity, followed by a group exercise and a one-on-one interview. Overall, the process was straightforward, engaging, and well-structured. The activities provided a good balance of teamwork and individual assessment, while also creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for candidates.
Very efficient. Got responses back on application fairly quickly. Had no issues throughout the entire recruitment process. Everyone very friendly and professional.
