Initial interview followed by numerical and abstract reasoning task.
Initial interview was very promising.
The numerical resoning was very challenging, more so than for MBA entry!
No feedback which was a surprise after a very encouraging first stage, but the email came from someone different. It did not appear to be well communicated.

Question 1
What would be your one ‘non-negotiable’ for this job role?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HeliosX Group (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Initial recruiter call, aptitude and advanced numerical tests, interview.
Interviewer didn't show up for first booked slot. Asked to re-book in a couple hours and got frustrated when I was unavailable 2 hours later. Not the best start.
Went through 3 rounds invested several hours to receive 1 line of feedback. ''Unfortunately, we have decided to move forward with another candidate''.
Requested feedback to understand where I can improve for future applications, nothing, followed up several times and received nothing.
The experience has totally put me off applying as a future candidate or purchasing as a customer.
Probably the most disrespectful application process I've been apart of.

Question 1
Name 3 things that are important for you in an organisation
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HeliosX Group (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
A first phone call, and then first face-to-face interview in the London office to go through questions about work history, general background on my CV and some short case study style questions to discuss. Both interviews were with the Head of HR. The interview in the office was about 1 hour long.
I found the behaviour bizarre, that he told me I did really well and there would be a second interview. He said he was excited to meet me as it felt like there was a good fit. He gave me instructions for the next round. I followed up when I did not hear from him and he never responded to any of my communications. I never heard from the company again.
