Applied online. Received call from BSkyB. Did
Telephone interview. Lots of questions about how I
would approach difficult situations such as managing
underperformance. Interviewer stuck to this theme throughout.
Subsequently invited to group discussion with two other candidates
who were applying for same position. BSkyB HR team were cold and
matter of fact. There were 4 scenarios revolving around how
you would approach typical people issues such as lateness,
underperformance and management styles. I was successful
here as I was invited to FINAL interview at same venue. The
last part was role play. The HR person played a really awkward
and difficult person overacting and in my view totally inconsistent
with reality. The tone of the role play session in my view set me up
to fail from the outset. No matter which way I went to deal with the issues
the HR person threw at me didnt seem to invoke any positive reaction. The entire
experience was nothing shirt of a bulldozing experience from start to finish. I
felt very upset leaving the building and I would never like to be handled
in that way again. Appalling!!!
