There was an initial phone conversation to gauge your knowledge of the company, followed by a discovery day to build more on this and meet your prospective team members. You also get to meet other employees from Octopus and learn more about the company. It was really engaging and you are given room to completely be yourself

Interview
I Interviewed for the Digi Ops role. I didn't recieve the same level of interaction from my person at instant impact but did feel like they were attentive. Quite a lengthy process and as others have said its important to schedule around work commitments, I had to take time off to complete certain stages. Discovery day is really nice, getting to know potential colleagues was fun and the exercises made it so we can all show the best part of ourselves in out groups.
