I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALTEN (London, England) in Jun 2023
Interview
Three stages with the first one being a test about some basic technical skills, the next stage being an assessment activity in which you were given some problems and your approach towards solving them problems would be evaluated. The last stage was an assessment day at their HQ in Central London, wherein you were asked to pick three potential clients you’d like to bring onto the company and give your reasons as to why you chose them and how they’d benefit the company.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ALTEN
Interview
Went through a lengthy interview process with this company, including HR, Senior HR, Assessment Center, and a partner interview. However, they left me hanging for two months before requesting yet another partner interview, followed by another month of waiting. Ultimately, I was rejected due to visa issues. This experience was disappointing as an international student in London. I hope the HR team takes my feedback seriously and improves their process by addressing visa concerns earlier. If they cannot sponsor or allow self-sponsored graduate visas, they should clarify this in the initial stages to avoid wasting candidates' time. I advise fellow international students to be cautious and consider other options when dealing with this company.
