I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Airways in Mar 2022
Interview
I would say everything up until my 1-1 interview was warm welcoming and gave a great impression of the company. Unfortunately my 1-1 interview I was spoken over, interrupted immediately upon answering any question. I use the STAR method and was explaining the situation to which I would be interrupted and asked to give a specific example to then again be asked to clarify the situation as the interviewer didn't understand the context or situation.
One question I had said 5 words and was interrupted. I have never in my professional career had such a demoralising and negative interview.
I understand a lot of people do apply for the roles at British Airways but I do believe there could be an improvement in creating a more supportive interview process that really shows why it's a great company to work for.
An interview is for both the candidate and the employer and after this experience I wouldn't have went further with the company regardless of the outcome.

Interview
I applied on January for the cabin crew talent pool (Heathrow), received an email 4 months later to complete the online assessment, I'm now waiting for their response. The assessment was fairly easy, you just have to remember their company values.
I applied online. I interviewed at British Airways (Heathrow, England)
Interview
Submit application on website, attach cv. Once accepted, complete the online assessment within 3 days of receiving the invite. (Maybe Psychometric style and situational judgment) British Airways do change the assessment types so bare in mind.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given random scenarios with a choice of most effective answer to select. The assessment has nothing to do with the job role or the actual airline.
