I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Balfour Beatty (Dartford, England) in Dec 2023
Interview
Applied online, completed an online assessment, and received an email from a recruiter asking if I'd like to interview for a different role. My application was changed and was no longer considered for the role I originally applied for. During the interview, the guys didn't know what job I was actually interviewing for and therefore would not ask me any technical questions, nor did they know anything about a graduate scheme. Everybody seemed friendly, gave me a tour of the office and got introduced to some higher-ups. Was surprised to receive a rejection email on the basis that I could've answered technical questions better.
