Perguntas de entrevista da empresa Idea Science

The hiring process had 3 parts. The first was a meeting in a coffee shop close to their office in Sydney. This was more like a friendly chat, and the head of one of the Idea Science groups explained what the company did, how it was structured, and what the role was. I talked about what I'd done before and what I was looking for. The second part was a presentation where I was asked to talk about something I'd worked on before, what the challenges had been and how we'd met them. It was interesting because I think my presentation was pretty short but with all the questions and discussion we ended up taking up a full hour. The third part was a follow up meeting with 2 people. They asked more questions about how I'd approach different problems, how I'd work within the team, and what I wanted to be doing. Overall it seemed like a very organised process and different from what I'd experienced before. The presentation part challenged me a bit but I think that was intentional.

I was referred to Idea Science through a friend who works there. The interview process was different and engaging compared to other interview processes I had been through previously and meant I really got to know the organisation and understood what the organisation was looking for. The first step involved a coffee chat with the COO to have an informal conversation about Idea Science as a company, history and future and talk through my own background and experiences. This meant I was able to see whether I was a good fit for Idea Science but more importantly for me, whether Idea Science was a good fit for me. After agreeing that Idea Science was a good fit on both sides, I was asked to prepare a short 5-10 minute presentation to a group of appropriate team members. As a university student when I applied, they encouraged me to explain any previous work experiences or university experiences. Given I hadn't had much experience in the industry, they were incredibly welcoming and understanding. Overall, the interview process was interesting and meant that I could understand the organisation well before making any decisions and the type of team I would be working with.
