I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Sydney)
Interview
(Note: I was based in Auckland, NZ throughout the recruitment process).
I got a phone call a couple months after I applied and it was just a casual chat; just the recruiter wanting to get to know you better. After the call, I as emailed resources on how to prepare for the interviews to follow.
This was followed shortly by a Video Interview with the same recruiter. No technical questions; purely behavioural and very doable considering the resources given prior.
Once I passed the Video Interview, there was an Assessment Centre which included one other NZer on the call and a recruiter. We were individually taken into breakout rooms. Here, we had an interview with an Account Manager followed by a Technical Interview shortly after.
The questions asked by the Account Manager is very much the same as those in the Video Interview. The Technial Interview was very very simple; I was asked about arrays.

Received a phone screening which asked some general questions about my applications (like verifying details on my resume). Only made it to the first round of actual interviews which asked some general OOP questions and the typical personal interview questions.
