Day-long assessment centre near Heathrow Airport. The day started with a welcome presentation, followed by:
-a group exercise where we were to develop a product or service and sell it to the hiring managers
-a written exercise where we were to analyse various communications with regards to finding a new business location, and describe to your manager which one is best
-a presentation on a module you learned in university
-a panel interview
We were told we would be reimbursed for our travel expenses, and to submit our receipts. I did that, and never received reimbursement. When I was told I wasn't offered the position, they told me they would provide feedback on the assessment centre. They never did. Emails were ignored after that.
