I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ornua (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2017
Interview
Video interview. You are given 30 secs to compose your answer and 60 secs to answer. There are three questions. You really have to think on your feet. Make sure you don't look at yourself (It's hard - try practicing beforehand), look into the camera.
If you are not successful you will not hear for weeks. I got an email late at night/early morning for the video interview meaning I had less time to prepare.
Got a follow up phone call but it was placed by an employee using their mobile phone which I felt was strange.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Why do you think you are suited for the programme?
short first interview with three concise questions about past experiences and with time clock, the answewrs get recorded and they take a lot of time to get in touch back and give you feedback

Question 1
How did I convince someone to do something the did not wanted to do
I applied online. I interviewed at Ornua in Nov 2020
Interview
Virtual Assessment Centre
Everything was fairly standard. I got through to the Assessment Centre and was told it would begin at a certain time but nothing happened for over 15minutes then I got an email to say they are running late so stay in the waiting room and it will begin in about 45mins. (Very bad impression)
I had a group case given on the day, it was a standard enough. No challenges.
My interview was terrible, it was another 1hour delay without reasoning and when I joined the break-out-room they two interviewers had no idea what to do, they didn't have a list of questions to ask and they didn't know who was supposed to run the interview.
Honestly my worst interview experience and glad I am not joining a disorganised company
