How was the second job simulation? What can I expect from it and how best can I prep?

It depends on the scheme but lots of maths, simulated situations and how you interpret ideas and pitch based off them. It will really sort the wheat from the chaff as it is quite challenging and you need to think quickly and confidently.

Some arithmetic calculations from provided charts and about 2 or 3 video responses to answer questions. No need to panic, it's untimed, you've got this. God speed

Anyone waiting for news on software engineering?
There's a second job simulation for business analyst?

Did mine on the 13th, last I had was an email on the 18th to say they’re being reviewed. How did you find it?

Definitely the longest & most comprehensive coding test I’ve done (I used the full 4 hrs). I would say it was manageable. I was able to pass all initial tests, but obv I don’t know about the hidden tests. How did you find it?

It took me around an hour/hour and a half, the REST API part threw me off a bit as I’ve not done much of that before but I found the rest okay. Just never know how I’ve done when they use hidden test cases, hopefully we’ll hear back soon
I completed by second job simulation a few days after the suggested deadline. Do you think this will affect my application? I haven't been rejected yet and it's been at least a week since I sat it. On the other hand, I didn't receive an email mentioning assessment centres like other people in this thread have. Anyone else in the same boat?

Just had an email saying my application won’t be going any further (software engineering). Frustrating they say they won’t give any feedback at this stage as I thought the coding test had gone really well. Good luck to everyone else

Every rejection is a redirection, Good luck!

ahh so sorry to hear, good luck with your other applications. if you don’t mind me asking when did you do the second assessment ??
Around a week ago I completed the second digital assessment (the one that included video interview questions) but since then I haven’t received any answer from them. To those who applied to the Data and Analytics Graduate Programme 2024, have you received any reply from them? Thank you very much :smile:

I think it was Friday 13th October, so maybe that’s why it turned out how it did
How many spots are there for these schemes? There must be thousands of applicants for what? <5 roles?

I do wonder the same, must be really competitive, I saw on the FAQs at another company that they were hiring around 80 and that was across roughly 10 different schemes
I got an email saying I need to complete both my digital assessments when I already did 😕 Anyone else get this?
