Generally good, very leading and good atmosphere from the colleagues. Well led through and easy to follow, Surprising amount of available slots to choose, one of the interviews I prepared well for.
Lengthy. You are expected to go through 7 or 8 stages of interviews and assessments, depending on the job you apply for. It is more competititve than getting in a top tier uni almost anywhere
