Graduate, Perth
pyometrics, zoomcall : group problem solving and debate assessment centre, coffee interview.
Graduate, Perth
Online pysc testing was very difficult and I thought would exclude many people, especially being game based and timed. Neurodiverse people would struggle, and especially people who are not used to online gaming. The interview process was good, though, I appreciated being interviewed by actual geos and not by HR.
Graduate, Perth
vac program + grad offer

Online assessment, followed by one day assessment centre.
Graduate, Perth
Very thorough. Completed online application form to address the selection criteria and how I reflect the company's values. Completed online cognitive abilities assessment and a risk appetite assessment. After making it through that first stage, I was invited to a full day at an assessment centre which involved some group challenges and activities, an interview with the hiring team, and being observed throughout the day as you mingle and meet everyone else applying for the grad program.
Graduate, Perth, WA
Over the top, too many barriers or barriers that do not lead to meaningful outcomes - talent is being missed and picked up elsewhere.

I felt comfortable in the interview as it was a conversation and the online portion was also easy but hard enough that people only applied if they really wanted the job

Online assessments plus in person interview.

I cannot remember. It was a balance of technical and behavioural questions.

About the role, situational based, application to scenarios

I was asked behavioural questions as well as abstract problem solving questions.

What is your reason for getting into environmental science? What are your thoughts on working for an oil and gas company?
