I applied for the Early Career Professionals - University Graduates (Origin Programe) an Ocober 2022. At first they requested a video interview which you do by yourself. You have to introduce yourself and then you have a minute to read the next question and immideately after you have 2 minutes to answer. The total questions are 5. Then I had a multiple choice test after a week or two and nother week later I had the original interview with the department I chose. The whole experience for me was nice and a bit stressful as well. Overall I enjoyed it.

Interview
The process is composed of asynchronous interview, board interview and technical interview. Asynchronous interview has a mixed set of technical and behavioral questions. Human resources are extremely helpful and supportive through out the process.
I've been asked a couple of questions which assess my technical knowledge rather than communication skills. Right before the interview, I've recieved an email which makes me get informed in which type of questions will be asked and how to answer these effectively.
