      Finance Partner Interview

      14 Sept 2011
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BBC (London, England) in Aug 2009

      Interview

      Online application via website although they have been know to use agencies too. A number of interviews, min of 2 people for independence purposes. It would be useful to match your experience with the core competencies. Do provide loads of examples no matter how obvious. The recruitment process is a tick box exercise and includes a role play with an internal client, practical assessment and quite a long personality test. All applications are reviewed against each other. The organisation is a mono-culture environment and outside of the creative broadcast areas; thinking outside of the box is not encouraged. Relationship management not ability is the key to success; the organisation is siloed, bureaucratic and slow. On the plus side it's a privilege to be part of a broadcasting organisation that impacts pretty much everyone in the UK in some way and respected worldwide. It can be quite innovative in its programming (not forgetting commissioned indies), technology, is more commercial than one would initially appreciate and has complete commitment to providing the best viewing for London 2012 across a range of platforms.
