Application Process & Interviews at FNZ

Long process

From what I remember... I applied online, then there were some online assessments. Then we had an in person graduate assessment center where we had some group activities and speed interviews. After that I was hired.

The interview process and assessments were enjoyable. Even though it is a heavy tech focused job with a need for coding skills, there were no specific coding questions in the process, instead it was more focused on the math and logic skills that translate well to coding.

I think it's quite good, everything is well communicated during the process. For my case, the process time was really fast as well. So I am satisfied with the recruitment process

I had a phone interview and online assessment. Later I was invited to attend the assessment day. Quite a clear and straightforward process. I really appreciate it.

It is a little bit hard and has too many questions to do.

Very thorough and multiple stages

Structured and well-organised for the most part. Lots of different stages, which was frustrating, and it took a really long time after the assessments were done for me to receive an offer.

Process was nice and easy. Full support from HR team. Assessments took a lot of time and effort but that is exactly what you expect when applying to such a position. Mostly questions about logic, math, coding etc

The process is smooth, start with online IQ, logic and behaviour tests. Second round, record some videos for the previous what you done. Then check your grade, after that is the Assessment Centre. Have a group interview, individual math, logic and estimation test. And a behavior interview in the end.

There are a lot of assessments!

I had to take a few tests after applying, then was asked to come to an assessment day where I did a combination of solo and group assessments, and also had my 1:1 interview on that day. The solo tests revolved around maths, estimation, logic and some general technical knowledge. I felt like they did a good job of taking a lot of different things into consideration, and they're good at taking into consideration the high pressure environment of an assessment day when looking at your results

1. Online prescreening test, some basic coding questions and some logic questions. 2. Assessment centre, some more logic/math questions + a coding group activity + 1on1 fit interview

Tough

Low rating for reasons that I can't disclose without immediately removing my anonymity. Similarly can't disclose much about the process taken for that reason.

Two interviews and a grad assessment day.

Pretty standard technical and cultural interview by software standards. Offered across in person assessment centers and online ones.

I was asked math, logic, and estimation questions. We had a group activity where we had to debug an issue. Also had a 'culture' interview that was like 20 mins.

Typical behavioral and motivational questions were asked but my interviewer also asked a lot of personal questions that we were able to connect with.

Can you do overtime work?

Technical questions like math, logic, and estimation, then followed by fit interviews

Like how do you think work on business ? What do you think of criticism?

Some questions about math and logic, some questions about estimate and group project.

How long it will take you to walk along the coast of Australia.

I was asked to describe something I'd done at uni recently that gave me a sense of accomplishment, as well as the basic "describe your weaknesses" and "what made you want to work here" questions. I can't remember many other questions as my interview was also quite conversational, and they asked a lot of follow up questions to do with my answers

Whether I would work over time. Many logic and behavioural problems.

Technical, behavioural and estimation questions.

Advice I would give is to go through the website thoroughly and see how you relate to the company values as it is a big part of the company and the interviewers love hearing about it.

I think grades are weighted reasonably heavy and same as the tests. Just do your best really and be affable and friendly.

Do your research well about FNZ, especially what we do and our culture.

Just come and try. Don't be afraid, just need to be confident.

Brush up on SQL, and get plenty of sleep the night before the assessment centre.

Stay sharp and always try to explain your logic how you ended up with your answer. Wright one or wrong one

Be yourself. And always be positive.

Be ready to answer questions about overtime. Do some practice on general iq type questions like pattern recognition etc.

Research the company, work culture and the types of problem solving questions they ask in interviews

You can't really prepare much for the tests, as the technical knowledge is only a small part. The main consideration is the interview, they really want to find someone they think will be a good fit for the company. If you want to do well in that, learn what the goal of the company is and be open to change and trying new things. They want people that genuinely want to learn and grow at the company, and it can be a high pace environment that requires flexibility

Be your best self.

The technical side of the application process was (imo) extremely basic. Would focus more on soft skills side of things. Much harder to prep on soft skills unfortunately, but if you've got some past experiences that illustrate soft skills (group projects in Uni which turned out well, areas where strong communication skills helped you in previous jobs, a particular challenge where you came up with a creative solution), think about how best to bring those up. Also keep in mind that FNZ is looking for a particular culture fit; if you can tie in some of your soft skills to their values ('customer obsessed for the long term', 'Think big and make an impact', 'Act now and own it all the way', and 'challenge, commit, and win together'), they'll be pretty happy with that.
