I had a 50 minute interview which was very laid back, very conversational mainly with a few competancy based questions. I had positive feedback a couple of days after my interview and was told they were interviewing others over the next week or so so would make a decision by a certain date. They kept within these epectations and provided me an offer without any further interviews. The offer was under the advertised salary range, very frustrating and insulting and was told there was no room for negotiation. I rejected the offer. I still don't uderstand what their game was, if I didnt have the skills to carry out the role, why was I offered the job at all? Be aware, they advertise a "Defined Benefits" (final salary) pension scheme but it is infact the bare legal minimum "Definied Contributions" pensions scheme. I provided constructive feedback including this yet 3 months later they have not changed their careers website to the correct information.

Process took about 3 weeks(or a bit more in days). I had a telephone interview which was successful and then a face-face interview which was again successful and an offer was given. The offer albeit was lower than what I had expected given my experience. I was considering the role but they immediately rescinded it because they said I didn't have the required documents for SC clearance 'without remarks'. I tried to rectify this issue and requested their help in rectifying it to which they turned down my request. The role was re-advertised the same day. I think it was very unprofessional of them to behave the way they did and I'm glad I didn't progress with them because their behaviour showed they were an unsupportive employer.
