Interview
First of all, I got an email asking for a phone interview. After that, they asked me to visit an assessment centre for 2 days (expenses paid). If you get past the first day of AC activites, you need to prepare for a presentation for the second day. Overall the process is pretty stressful, but high paced so I cannot fault the hiring process.

Interview
The interviewer was very casual and nice and created a nice atmosphere to be interviewed in. They want to know more about you as a person rather than your experience. The whole process was fun and far more casual than I was used to.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Downer (Canberra) in August 2020.
Interview
Had a phone interview, talent advisor didn't really know about what roles were available. Met with a Director who told me he was too busy and gave me a condescending speach about kids in suits probably because I wore a suit to the interview. Didn't really take any time to get to know me and talked bad about the company. Seemed very arrogant and I know of others who've had similar experiences, overall quite disappointing and not a place I'd want to work.
