Location: QLD Completed an online technical assessment followed by a technical interview with the team, which went well. HR followed up asking for my availability for the next round, which felt encouraging. After that — complete silence. No follow-up, no rejection, nothing. I reached out via email and phone multiple times with no response. Pros: The technical team was engaged and the interview itself felt fair and professional. Cons: Complete lack of communication after the HR follow-up. Being ghosted after investing time in multiple rounds is disrespectful to candidates. At minimum, a rejection email takes 30 seconds. This reflects poorly on the company's candidate experience and professionalism.

Today, I attempted the online API test and found that the environment did not support GET or POST requests. After reaching out for clarification, I was told that my incomplete test disqualified me. This experience raises serious concerns. If Westpac can’t manage a proper test environment, how can I trust that they’re capable of providing a reliable working environment? This oversight has convinced me not to pursue further opportunities with the company.
