There were a few stages in the process of attaining the graduate position at Cochlear. First was the application/resume stage, after which came a few screenings, and then a group assessment and final interview. Each of these was pretty standard up until the group assessment where it was more business focused, and you not only had to rely on your own skills but your skills in a group. The final interview required knowledge of the particular stream that you applied for, as I applied for firmware I was asked specific information about that field.

Went through the process in 2022 - back then, it was a lengthy process with many stages, very long wait times between each stage with zero communication and then extremely short notice for an interview.

Process was transparent and we were given lots of information along the way.
We had a resume submission stage, answered written questions, had group interviews, psychometric testing then individual interviews.

Going through the intern -> graduate pipeline it was fairly rigorous but fair. I hope the initial resume screening process / software is up to date.

For the internship process: Had a group interview first (with 3-4 individuals) and then had a technical interview with 2 team leads.

waiting to hear about the grad program outcomes took longer than expected, and i know some people went on to interview/get offers for other companies because of how long it took to find out

The recruitment process for the internship was shorter than average, both for the company and for other internships. I think this was because of the urgent need for this work. It was two rounds, one with the recruiter and then finally with the hiring managers.
