      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Rio Tinto

      Interview

      The assessments were quite challenging but were a good test to check the capability of future employees and the interview was also well done. They covered all topics. I advise you to prepare yourself for the IQ based assessments, they are quite challenging In addition to a hiring manager, you make meet with managers, employees, and other staff. How hiring is handled depends on the employer and the systems they have in place for screening and evaluating potential new hires.
