Question 1
How do you understand and apply the Ove Arup principles.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arup (West Bromwich, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied on Arup website, was contacted by HR to undertake a initial phone screening call. Screening call went well, woman was very friendly. Asked questions about what I know about the company, why I want to work for Arup, salary expectations, notice period etc.
Second part including a Teams interview with 2 staff. Staff were very bland and not very responsive, interview felt uncomfortable. Lasted about 1 hour. Contacted by email 2 weeks later to say I didnt get the job.
I dont come from a consultancy background but I was asked questions which would seem difficult from a individual who works in a different sector.
Unfortunately interviewers were not very understanding of this, could have engaged more to get to know me personally.

Interview
Initial Phone Screening
