I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at WSP (Basingstoke, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
Applied online for a structured graduate scheme position. Did some online testing (verbal, numerical and logical) which wasn't that taxing. Subsequently completed a short competency based recorded video. Got invited to a 1-day assessment centre in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We were assessed on our team-working ability (by creating a group presentation), technical ability (writing out a mock transport plan for a project). Finally I was interviewed by two managers at WSP, which felt more like an informal conversation about my experiences and abilities rather than a stressful 'question-answer-question' formal interview.
Overall, the day was well-organised but intensive. I learned a lot from the process being my first assessment centre. Felt even better to get an offer from the company!

Interview
Invited for an Interview Day out of a regional office where I attended with other candidates. This day includes a group activity, presentation on why you should work for WSP and a traditional interview. From the get-go you were either "in the club" with the other candidates or were made to feel out of place.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you failed or made a mistake, and how did you learn from it.
First stage included a cognitive test and then an interview over Microsoft teams with 2 people from the team. Other applicants also had to sit through a group interview before the one on one.

Interview
They started by introducing WSP. They asked some questions like what is a disruptor facing the industry, describe a time you worked in a team. Then they finished off with some quickfire questions like do you prefer to start or finish a project, etc.
