Have applied for sales/customer service role through agency who are putting forward my CV...

Any advice on what they're like to work for and interview process - probably a few telephone interviews and then in person - would be most appreciated.

I'm about to do a technical telephone interview in 5 minutes! I'll let you know.

The image is a really fun happy place. But that might all be marketing, but from mini documentary I saw it does look very positive.

I kind of half know a guy (friend of a friend kind of thing) who went to work for them. He's happy from what I've heard. Apparently it's a nice place to work.

Don't know anything concrete though.

How did your telephone interview go Dr Loon?

Can anyone update on the interviews or working conditions etc

Thinking more of admin positions not technical boffin jobs!!

I got as far as a telephone interview and no further. The more I think about it the more I think the actual nitty gritty of the job is rather dull.

For technical stuff from what I gather is they ask you some complex questions on the phone. You can probably google the answers.

I think the sound of frantic typing and lots of 'ummmms....' after each answer would be a bit of a giveaway!

Mate's wife is working there about 2 months and she loves it. He told me that their canteen is totally free.

I tried googling Google. Its impossible. Like trying to search for someone whose surname is Porn.!!

I went as far as the face to face interviews.
The process is so long...it took me over 3 months.

A worksheet to do and that is a very long work.
3 telephone interviews, some with HR, some more technical.
2 face to face interviews, one with the manager and one with the team leader.
Between each interviews there is at least a week or 2 (the HR dealing with you might be on holidays, they have to discuss your application every week or 2 weeks, they have to contact you to schedule the interview and then you are ready for the next step...)

Everything went ok except the interview with the manager :rolleyes:

I did not get it finally...I was so pissed of because they never told me directly but they told the recruitment agency which only told me after 2/3 weeks and 3/4 phone calls from me!

For the phone interviews just have some notes ready, that helped me alot if you want to know more pm me.
