I applied online. I interviewed at Foster + Partners (London, England)
Interview
The process included a first-round phone screening with HR, then a second-round Teams interview with a Project Management Partner. The second-round interview was conducted via Microsoft Teams with a Project Management Partner and focused on a summary of my experience, including key challenges I’ve encountered and how I addressed them. It also explored my working style, with scenario-based questions such as how I approach situations where I don’t know an answer, and reflections on past challenges, with an emphasis on honesty and learning
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What size and budget of projects have you previously worked on?
I applied online. I interviewed at Foster + Partners in Jan 2024
Interview
HR initially scheduled a phone interview via email, but failed to call at the agreed time. After my follow-up call, they apologised for being caught up in another interview and we rescheduled for the next day. HR again, didn't call as planned, and upon my follow-up call, there was no apology. During the second attempt, the HR representative seemed disinterested, not bothering to ask any questions. Despite assurances of feedback within a week I didn't receive any and had to follow up via email, to which there was no response.
I believe HR lacks professionalism and commitment to fair recruitment practices. They have continuously not stuck by their word so have displayed untrustworthiness and unreliability, definitely not what you would expect from a renowned company like this.
