I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (Norwich, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
Took 4 weeks overall. I completed an online assessment which took a couple of hours and involved questions on my personality and judgement based assessments considering what I would choose to do in a scenario. Then 5 days later I got a phone call asking me to come in for a group interview. Only two other people in the interview and two people assessing us. We were given a sheet of paper with customer based scenarios on which we had 5 minutes to read and 20 minutes to discuss. The assessors watched us talk about the situations and also prompted us in certain ways to discuss things. Then was taken for a one on one interview where the questions were very specific. Nice people but took 2 weeks before I found out I got the job over email.
