No offer

Neutral experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Waitrose

Interview

Went through the tests - situational judgment, verbal reasoning and numerical (designed specifically for them, not generic SHL or Kenexa which was nice). Shortly after invited to complete a video interview within 4 days. It lasted around 20-25 minutes, and they gave you around 1 minute to prepare and 2 minutes to answer. Mainly competency based questions and a couple regarding Waitrose/JLP and its values etc.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose in Nov 2014

Interview

First step was an online application which was a bit time consuming. This was followed by a phone interview, then a face to face interview which included a presentation. After this came an online psychometric test and a second face to face interview. Both interviews were friendly but thorough. Second interview was fairly tough.

Question 1

Had to create a 15 min presentation on the day prior to first interview without knowing the topic beforehand. Topic was very relevant to the job however.

A time when you given feedback and how you approached it? how do you ensure the quality of products are good? (i think)
