I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Newcastle, England) in Aug 2020
Interview
I applied online and sent a copy of my CV. Very soon after I received a link to answer some questions in a text format. Soon after submitting these I was invited to a 'recorded interview', where I spoke into my webcam to answer questions. This was quickly followed by an invitation to a remote assessment centre.
(This was all remote, from home, due to the pandemic) The assessment centre consisted of a presentation about each of the roles they were hiring for, an overview of the company and a very welcoming group of interviewers/recruiters. This was followed by a group task, unrelated to the position, to see how we would work within a team. Finally we were given individual interviews, by a recruiting staff member, specialist staff member, and member of last year's graduate programme (who didn't ask questions but who was there to answer any questions that we may have had).
The whole team was very welcoming, very engaging and truly lovely and, whilst it is difficult to enjoy an interview in the strictest sense, this was the closest I came to having fun in an interview. (Except the recorded interviews, those were terrifying and I won't be sad if I never have to do one again).

Question 1
Standard interview questions, and questions about my CV. There was also a short presentation which we had to prepare in advance.
