Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None in the onsite assessment, but there were generic aptitude test.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinewood Technologies (Birmingham, England) in Dec 2022
Interview
Made it past the video interview process, which was well set out and a good experience and then got to the assessment center. They rejected me in the final stage assessment center because they apparently wanted to see more involvement during the group stage. This was very confusing as I was clearly the leader in my group of 4 and assigned tasks to the other group members while the assessors were watching. I would not mind as much if I was given clear criticism on what I could do to improve, but it is incredibly lazy to give a generic reason such as "not showing enough involvement" when I was clearly the leader and helped my other team members when they struggled with their tasks (that I assigned to them).
