I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Johnson Matthey (Royston, East of England, England) in Sep 2016
Interview
I attended an assessment centre.
Overall it was a good experience, although I’ve noticed a lack of professionalism from HR person/department. They promised us to pay the travel expenses and the day of the assessment they asked us to send them an email requesting a form in order to do that. I’ve sent them a couple of emails just in case they didn’t get the first one, but I haven’t received any answer to them. Talking with friends who also attended interviews/assessment centres at JM; this seems quite common in this company. As I say, this reflects a lack of seriousness from Johnson Matthey. I was thinking about applying to other jobs, but I just didn’t like their aptitude, so I won’t.

Interview
It was an online video interview. Very welcoming and friendly interviewers with positive and professional approach. A pleasant atmosphere was created during the whole interview and they avoided cliche questions as much as possible, which made the experience even better.

Interview
Video interview followed by face-to-face interview, presentation and facilities tour. My face-to-face interview felt quite relaxed and I enjoyed talking to the interviewers about the technology they were working on, learning numerous things in a short discussion.
After weeks without a response, I pressured for a response and was notified I had been shortlisted, but still haven't heard back.
Not sure if it's down to a lack of communication between departments or an incompetent HR team, but communication is slow and as others have mentioned, they will not respond to any queries regarding travel compensation after the interview.
