Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Thames Water (Reading, England) in June 2018.
Interview
Invited for an interview pretty promptly after application deadline finished. Resourcing staff were really helpful and state everything you need to do for preparation and location etc. 2 members of staff interviewed me, they were really nice and I feel conversation flowed pretty well. The downside was that it took just over 2 weeks to get a response regarding whether I had been successful or not. But I did get detailed feedback about the interview when I asked which I really appreciated

Interview
The assessment centre began with a networking session to allow candidates to meet the assessors. There was an individual exercise where we were given 30 minutes to look over some information and then we had to give a presentation on the information we were given. There was then a group exercise followed by an interview. The questions were fairly difficult and based on competency skills as opposed to knowledge of the company.

Interview
2 stages interview. Overall slow recruitment process, but informative when you ask the questions about the process. Interviews were scheduled few days in advance.
First meeting with 2 senior IT Management Staff - general run through CV, describe in more details selected aspects relevant to the role. Very positive approach, organised meeting.
Second meeting with 2 Technical Architects, chaotic meeting with narrow minded technical questions. There were no meeting with the business representative nor any question about the Thames Water Business.
