I applied online. I interviewed at BOQ in Apr 2025
Interview
Awful. Applied online, apart from standard generic "received application confirmation" email 10 seconds after hitting submit button, heard nothing back until a cold (and again generic worded) email 10 weeks after application saying progressing with other applicants.
Ex-colleagues working in BOQ (whom I've worked with over 15 years at all levels Line 1, Line 2, Regional Managers and Department Heads) all surprised I didn't even get an interview.
No details for unsuccessful application, no ability to discuss with unsuccessful email having the nerve to say they will keep my details on file and encourage me to keep BOQ in mind for future opportunities.
With the shoddy and cold application and hard-close process, definitely won't be keeping BOQ in mind.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at BOQ in Apr 2023
Interview
Whilst the interviews themselves were fine, HR does not keep you updated with what is going on. They move incredibly slow, both in providing updates and answering questions. It was not a great experience as it lacked transparency and was a very frustrating experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very general conversation type questions - no behavioural.
