Rushed and not what you would expect from an interview. Overlooked from the jump and just not the best. Would have liked a genuine interview and actually given a fair shot
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Jacobs (Reading, England) in Mar 2024

Very friendly and chill, did a tour around the building and then was asked some technical questions linked to the role, needed to bring up knowledge from university and a levels and then normal interview questions such as why would you want to work here. Also scenario based questions were also involved.
