The first step is completing an online application form, which takes quite a long time to complete. Two weeks later I received an email stating that I proceeded to the next stage which is the telephone interview. The telephone interview took approximately 40 minutes with two main parts: motivational questions (why Arup, why do they stand out etc.) and situational ones. The situation based questions were a bit trickier compared to other phone interviews I had but they are mainly based around their values and desired behaviours. The interviewer was friendly but some questions were repetitive and seemed to drag on. I was told on the same day that I successfully passed the interview and that my application will now be reviewed by the hiring managers.
Over a month later I received an invitation to an assessment centre. Overall, it was a very positive and fun experience but challenging nonetheless. I had to complete a technical assessment (30 mins), group exercise and a technical interview. Furthermore, I was given a tour of the office by a graduate, lunch and a chat with HR. Everyone was lovely and approachable and made sure we all feel at ease. Within less than a week I received an offer.
