The process lasted several months and it was never clear from the beginning exactly which role I was being considered for.
What was particularly frustrating was that my background and experience were known from the outset, yet by the third interview I was told that I lacked the required experience. This raised questions about why the process continued for so long if there were concerns about my suitability based on experience.
The final feedback stated that I did not demonstrate sufficient "energy and innovative thinking." This felt vague and subjective, with no specific examples provided. After investing a significant amount of time in the process, I would have appreciated clearer communication, better alignment on the role, and more constructive feedback.
Overall, the candidate experience felt disorganised and unnecessarily prolonged.
Applied online and was invited to an interview in person. They ask me to trial for waitering and I also had to work doing pot washing. I got a pizza though
I applied in-person. I interviewed at PizzaExpress
Interview
Interview was fine enough but they stated three different pay rates between the interview and the job offer, they also didn't really offer much information on the role itself. Was told I'd get an offer in an email along with a load of different apps and services I'd have to give my information to for training purposes.
