I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne) in Aug 2019
Interview
They did not ask me or let me know anything in advance. And wasted 2 hours of my time to travel to/from their office just to tell me they have a 4 hours test to begin with. And only after the test they would come back to me and proceed.

Question 1
It was the shortest interview ever. It took me 5 minutes to realize the company does not worth it at all.
Thank you for your comments. The test you mentioned would only have been at the final stage of the recruitment process, and not at the start as you say. We feel that some form of testing is a very normal part of almost any recruitment for a technical role, as this helps to demonstrate what someone is capable of.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DWS (Melbourne) in May 2019
Interview
Hiring process was quick. I had a phone interview then was called in to their office for a second interview. They gave me an aptitude test then I got an offer a few days after the test results came out.

Question 1
Questions were mostly on past work experiences, the industries I've worked in and types of projects I've managed.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DWS (Sydney)
Interview
the recruitment process was made of 3 steps:
a) HR to assess the overall fit with the organization
b) assessment (approx 3h) on paper with a pencil
c) GM to assess professional competencies and alignment with potential clients
It is not easy to fit the test if you already have a job. You either need to take formal time off and conduct it on a Saturday.

Question 1
Classic questions about my experience and the processes applied. Terminology is important.
The test was to assess concentration and ability to follow very detail steps; initially for developers but applied to all roles (BA / PM). Maybe not the most appropriate. And it should move a digital solution (paper and pencil was the way in the 80's !!)
