Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the main challenges facing Tesco at the moment?
Never heard back after a whole assessment day, which was only arranged with a couple of days notice. Poorly managed and would not be interested in working for them given the treatment and poor organisation
1. Telephone call, 2. face to face assessment day. Not friendly atmosphere. Very sarcastic manager who was leading the interview. Quite harsh and demotivating process. You have to be well prepared.
