What do I need to prepare?
This depends on the role you’re applying for. You don’t need to prepare anything specific for a telephone interview. You may be sent a short brief prior to the face-to-face interview, but you’ll always be given plenty of time to prepare.

What is the format of the face-to-face interview?
You’ll meet various members of the team, take a tour of the campus, enjoy lunch in our canteen (everyone’s favourite bit!) and hopefully get a taste of what it's like to work here. Candidates tell us it’s rigorous but very enjoyable!
Expect to spend between half and a whole day with us. We want to get to know you and we want you to get to know us, so there’ll be lots of opportunities for both sides to ask questions.
