After initial contact I was invited for an interview at their office and for a respective skills based assessment. The whole interview/assessment lasted about 3 hours. There was a group interview, conducted by knowledge managers/supervisors, no HRs - one of them was present via web connection. No surprise questions, most of them were though STAR structured, but the overall impression was that neither of them was listening/coordinating their questions - I heard the same questions quite a few times , as I attempted to provide and repeat my responses/examples in order. Felt quite intimidated and the atmosphere was somehow unpleasant. I got the impression that they were looking for an administrator, recent graduate with no experience, but particular passions. The assessment was to prepare, summarize, edit and research information, in the context of the position.

The interview consisted of 4 stages. - First a skype interview with internal HR and another analyst, where they asked why you some standard quest. ie why you want to work there and competency questions. - Next a mini assessment, you have to look through company report/ new articles and give an overview of the company strategy/key press. Along with a small excel exercise. -Interview with line manager, fairly laid back interview just getting to know you -Interview with practice leader, slightly more formal. where do you see yourself in 5 yrs and why do you think you'll be a good fit.
