Interviewed Apr 2010 in Bracknell, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
A reasonably thorough process - numeracy/personality/motivation tests. Face to face interview with hiring manager and someone doing a similar role. Biggest problem for me was the fact that it was all about them. No attempt to sell the role nor the company to me. After that was advised very quickly that I was one of the strongest they had seen and would invite me back for another interview with a senior manager as a final check. I have heard nothing since. If you get an interview at C&W I would recomend that you ask questions about the role throughout the interview rather than waiting for them to sell it to you.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
The interviewer himself was not sure of what he is hiring for. He was not aware of the full details of the project for which he was hiring. He was not sure of the location where hired people will be placed. He did not give a figure of salary to offer. Also, he discriminated on racial grounds. The interview was scheduled for 45 min, all went well for 15 mins but as soon as he got to know that I was from Pakistan, he closed the interview right there.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Bracknell, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
C&W initially contacted me by phone to arrange the interview follwing up with a helpful email on interview tips.
The first interview, with hiring manager and prosective colleague was relaxed with an informal feel.
Selection process was then described with a possible second interview with the group manager.
However after this I have heard no further news. I did send a polite email asking for feedback and confirmation of suspected negative outcome but no reply.
Having attended an interview I believe an answer negative or otherwise would be the least a company can provide. The complete lack of answer or feedback has left me with a negative impression of C&W and slightly puzzled as to why C&W prefer to harm their image in this manner.
