Interview
The interview process was very straight forward. After completing the online forms etc., I was invited to complete a video interview. The interview had 12-15 questions and you had a few seconds to prepare each answer. I was later invited to the assessment centre. It was well organised and a calm environment. The day consisted of a one-to-one interview with HR, a group challenge, a one-to-one exercise with HR where you had to describe how you would proceed in the given situation and a presentation, that we were asked to prepare beforehand. We were around 8 people attending from all sorts of backgrounds. Make sure you are familiar with BT's values, recent news and competitors.
Overall, I had a nice experience at the Assessment Centre, and left with a good feeling, although I did not receive any offer. They provide all the participants with feedback after the assessment centre, which is nice. Although the feedback is very standardised and I feel some of it was inconsistent with what I had said/done during the day.

Interview
video interview- get to 6 questions, 30 second prep time and can rerecord.
Virtual Assessment centre- had to bring an item of importance, group task, one-to-one interview that consisted of alternating questions of scenario and compentency based, verbal presentation about the decision you made in the group task, self-reflection interview.
During the day there was a breakout room where you got to meet current graduates and ask questions.
They tried to make you as relaxed and comfortable.
Was expecting feedback through a call but just got a generic rejection letter, was a bit disappointed with that as their core value is "personal" and theres nothing personal about that.
