Application
In terms of application, we usually start with a screening call to tell you what we are all about in a small, casual conversation. That helps you to know us a bit better and tell us a bit about yourself.
We then have a brief technical interview to highlight some examples of specific skills. We are more interested in understanding your thought process regarding problems than your proficiency with software. The next step would be a small presentation to assess your communication skills, followed by separate interviews with 3 different directors. From there on, it is down to the offer stage.
