Interview process for the graduate program was almost completely irrelevant for the data science stream. Questions not related to actual roles available. Roles available are generally related to SAS programming, not data science. Process was incredibly long. Outcomes announced later than other grad programs elsewhere.

Video interviews are unnatural and a lot of people do not show their true capability in them. The assessment criteria is usually too generic to the position and there is no swaying from the hard line framework that is in place, therefore people who are most suitable for roles do not get them if they make a single insignificant mistake.

1. Initial application stage - had to write a short analysis on a social statistics question. 2. Online interview - quite lengthy and there was a curve-ball analysis question which also required a bit of existing knowledge/prior research. 3. Face to face interview - relatively simple, they gave me the questions before hand which I found a bit strange. I had 15 minutes or so in a room by myself to think about responses and then I was interviewed by 2 people who asked me the questions I had already created responses too. It wasn't too difficult.

The application required a recently completed undergrad degree. The recruitment process was targeted at Data Analysts for the Australian Public Service in general, then I was able to pick my preferences for specific agencies once I was accepted. There was an initial questionnaire, including a technical quiz, followed by two rounds of video interviews; one automated, one with a panel of actual humans. The interviews were not too taxing, and the people were friendly.
