Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BD (Swindon, Gloucestershire, South West England, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
After my application, I have been contacted by someone from the HR to arrange an interview date.
The interview was face-to-face but it wasn't your avarage conversation type process. The hiring manager had a form, that had to be followed precisely to stand any chance for success. if the question on the form asked "describe me where you done X" then you better not deviete from X as this will not be looked at favourably.

What is the usual project path in your current workplace?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BD (Basingstoke, England) in May 2016

Face to face with 2 senior managers & HR. Technical discussion & review of background and applicability to this role. Very pragmatic and obviously focused on knowledge of design of products and potential problems & pitfalls. HR interview focused on soft skills
