Poor Recruitment Experience and Lack of Transparency

Business Outlook

Pros

Unfortunately, I didn’t experience any positives during the process.

Cons

The recruitment process was poorly organized and felt unprofessional. The assessment day lacked structure and didn’t seem like an effective or appropriate way to evaluate graduates. Onboarding was confusing and uninformative, with too many people from unrelated departments present — it made it impossible to understand the role I had applied for. Communication throughout was lacking; it was difficult to get in touch with anyone who could answer basic questions about the job. Last-minute onboarding arrangements required traveling to Birmingham, which wasn’t communicated beforehand. Reimbursement was only offered for coach travel, which would take nearly 10 hours from my location. The entire process felt like a waste of time and reflected poorly on the company’s organization and culture. I would not recommend applying for a graduate role here.
