I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sage
Interview
The interview process is fairly long. I was contacted by a recruiter about two weeks after submitting my application for a phone screen. Next, I had a video interview with the person who would be my direct supervisor. After one week, I was contacted again for a final in-person interview.
The in person interview was 3 hours long. The first part of the interview was with the person I had my video interview with. After that, I was moved to another room where I was asked to complete a series of tests. I was given 30 minutes to complete an excel test, and a basic writing test to examine my written communication skills. After that, I was moved to another room where I had an interview with a series of people. The first two people were other managers on the team that I would be working with. Once that was over, two more people came in. They were people who had just got promoted from the position that I would be entering into, should I be offered the job. Once that was over, I was told I would be contacted by HR with a decision.
I was contacted a week later by HR with an offer. I was told they had to complete a background check before I could be officially offered the job. That took another week. Once that was complete, I was sent an offer letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your strengths/weaknesses? How do you prioritize tasks? Tell me about your experience. If you could be a character from any book, who would you be? How is your closet organized?
Started with a recruiter call which went positively, got invited to a first round interview where they got me to do a task and then asked three competency-based questions. Wasn't invited for a second round, feel like the feedback given was unfair and not helpful for future applications.
An online interview and in person interview, online interview lasted 30 minutes and in person interview was 30 minutes working through a task i completed before the day and 30 minutes behavioural questions
They offered no follow up and were disorganised - they never responded to my emails and didn't keep me updated. The interview itself was straightforward but I was disappointed in the lack of communication
