There were many stages of the interview process and assessments. It was hard to juggle as a student but I think it was well worth it in the end. I learnt a lot about the position and my potential peers throughout this.
Interview and assessments were fine, process was very drawn out
Standard process
For the Graduate Program, the interview process and assessments were all unproblematic and it was very helpful that they were all facilitated virtually. The speed interview stage was definitely the most challenging, which involved being asked a question by an interviewer, provide an answer, and then the interviewer would switch to a different person to ask the next question. This repeated for 4-5 questions and required the interviewee (applicant) to make five first impressions, removing the ability to build rapport with the interviewer as in a traditional process.
