Very long and tough day, consisted of group tasks, presentations, interviews and role play.
Generic group tasks based around a fake company (basically GSK) and solving various issues.
Presentation based of a choice the company had to make.
Role play was solving issues of a team you had just been placed in charge of.
After applying for a job through a company web page, I was contacted by HR and had a brief phone interview - very high level questions. I was asked to summarize my current reponsibilities and previous experiences, how did I learn about the company. Then I was invited to the office where I sat with HR person and used her laptop to have a video call with hiring manager and two team members. At this stage the HR was not asking any questions. Both the manager and two team members engaged in a conversation and asked follow up questions. I had an impression it went very well, but then had to wait about two weeks for a call afterwards.
