Terrible application process. Their online application portal is very buggy, kept crashing and losing what I had input into the form. I had to restart sections multiple times. It also times out and drops your unsaved information periodically. Atrocious.
I received an automated acknowledgement of application submission. A month later I have heard nothing further. This is substandard given the time I lost trying to get through their application form.

Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Aussie Broadband
I applied online. I interviewed at Aussie Broadband
Interview
Interview process was ok, they gave a take home test which was time consuming. Their expectations were too high. I did the coding test pretty well for what it was, and mentioned there's better ways of doing it too. They expected a 1 week solution for something which would take 5 hours. First off, we do have a full time job, can't cater to this considering its time consuming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Construct two API endpoints functions using Laravel which give some output.
Task 1 - Expose a new api endpoint to list all applications
Task 2 - Automate the ordering of all nbn applications.
Implement a queue worker and also schedule this one using Laravel scheduler.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Aussie Broadband (Melbourne) in Sep 2022
Interview
Phone interview, then received 2hr est. tech test from GitHub repo. If approved after tech test, then may proceed to face-to-face interview, VoIP or in-person at local office. The phone interview was a mix of boilerplate interview questions, and random tech questions. FYI, this interview was for a Software Engineer role, they do not recognize Senior Software Engineers until you've at least passed the onboarding probation process.
