I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Arup (Bristol, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Applied in October then had the online assessment end of October, assessment centre in January even though originally told it would be December. Assessment centre was good, a fun day actually. It involved an interview, group work and an exam style question - which they never even read. There was 4 people applying for my role and 4 going for another role.
I didn't get the position, and didn't hear back for 3 weeks even though we were told a few days, maximum 2 weeks. I then asked for feedback and never got any.

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Arup (London, England)
Interview
Met with different people from the team over the course of a few hours. Asked typical questions about motivation, experience. Asked to present recommendations based on data given.
All seemed well. But then they took over a month to get back to me despite my following up and only did so via email. Would have preferred a call after all that waiting. A further month to get the feedback which they promise to give. Interview team are great, HR not so much. Left a sour taste that they treat people they don't want that badly. From what I've heard, people not selected for interview only got told they were unsuccessful months after the role had been given away.
Online Tests; The standard logic and math tests
Online assesment center, including long case study and presentation where I had 30 minutes to prepare a slide. Good experience overall, but would have prefered in-person
