Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why this company?
Why this role?
Difficult situations you found yourself in?
How were they resolved?
What are you strengths?
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Atkins in May 2014
Interview
I applied for the position in the middle ease which involves 4 steps: online application, numerical reasoning and verbal test, a phone interview and a technical interview which is either in person or on the phone.
The online application is fairly details, regarding your interest in the position and how your skill will help you.
The online test was not especially challenging, but it requires a cool head and quick thinking. Even according to Atkins you usually won't be able to finish it.
After the test, I received an email saying that I passed the test and I would received a call within 12 week to discuss my application. I never did receive that call and 16 weeks later my application which was 'under review', changed to inactive.
Contact channels were useless. They did not reply to my email and a call was just a rather blunt receptionist telling don't call or email.

Question 1
Pie chart with numerical values and you need to determine the unknown percentage
If there is an employees name for each alphabet and E and G repeat twice and thrice respectively. First employee is assigned number 46, what will be the sequential number of employee name starting with J? (Note: it's not the exact question, but something along these lines)
