Interview
After applying online, you have to pass two online interviews, the first with a person from the human resources department and the second with a manager. The first focusses more on your motives and your general background. The second goes a little bit deeper and asks more specific questions. If everything goes well, you have the assessment day in the offices in Dublin. On this day, you have two more interviews with managers: the first again more about yourself, your goals, your motives etc and the second more about the job in itself, in order to see if you have done some research about the company and the job and if you understand it well. You also have a business case with a group of 4 other applicants.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Could you explain how you solved a problem you’ve had in the past using the starr-method.
Ridiculously long final interview for an entry level role. I was asked to take a day off of my annual leave for a 6 hour long assessment day. Required long hours of preparation after my working hours and I was asked to give a presentation on the day. I would not recommend employers dragging through candidates for this long and asking them to use their annual leave if the employers is not even sure about them at this stage. I found out that they were interviewing an other canditate for the same role and they were never meant to hire both us, opposed to what they said in the beginning. Recruiter never contacted me on her own about the outcome of the assessment day. I had to email her two weeks late to find out I did not get the offer.

I was approached for the bda role by a recruiter from Salesforce. I was pleasantly surprised by the research that was done prior to our conversation by the recruiter. The process was quite long but went very smooth and there were no unnecessary steps or questions.
