Interview
The process consisted of an online application, followed by two online tests, written exercise and a half a day assessment centre consisting of a general interview and a technical interview. The whole process was conducted very professionally. The general interview was standard competency, motivational and commercial awareness questions. The technical interview was tough and at time quite philosophical, nonetheless a very enjoyable experience.
