Balfour Beatty Software Engineer interview experience

Glasgow, ScotlandPosted Mar 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I was invited to an online assessment centre where I was split into relevant groups and given a task to work on.

What caught me off guard was that the task felt tied to the company itself rather than being anything like software engineering, which I found a bit bizarre at the time. After working on it, I had to present the result to people from the staff and from other groups, and answer questions based on what I’d done.

Then the schedule stretched longer than I expected. There was a lunch break, and when we came back I had a one-on-one interview focused on my background plus some technical questions related to the job. It was overall quite relaxed and not combative, but the email didn’t say how long
