The hiring team is excellent. Jasmine was responding very quickly and explained everything clear. Vidhi helped me with my access problem professionally. The overall experience was amazing.

As part of the grad interviews, the hiring managers at Optus were more interested in who you are as a person as opposed to what you know. It was a fun and relaxed environment.

HR is well known to be slow and drawn out process. Takes months to backfill positions

Application > psychometric testing > video interview > assessment centre (group work + solo interview)
Graduate, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
Started with the initial application followed by a one-way interview where you answered some questions to a camera. I always hate these.
Then this was followed by a coding test for technical roles which was very reasonable and not too high pressured at all.
Finally, there was an assessment centre with a group interview activity in the morning and solo interview with a senior leader later in the day. The experience in these interviews was quite relaxed.
The best part of the recruitment process was the very speedy turnaround. Interview was on Wednesday and was offered the position on Friday. The whole thing was very efficient compared to some companies which took months with no progress (Deloitte).

The assessment centre was brilliant and the hiring staff were incredibly polite & professional. Major kudos to our HR team.

A little lengthy but means they get good applicants so can't complain

Did an initial application, moved on to an online interview, I did an assessment centre, and a final interview. The assessment centre in particular was a huge factor in choosing Optus, because the general vibe of the acquisition team was cheerful and lighthearted, and showed the general culture that Optus has, whereas in other assessment centres, the acquisition team would only speak to each other when discussing the assessment and seemed very intense.

My experience was 100% online, took away some of the stress of meeting in person but also had added stress of relying on technology for what was very important to me.
there was online testing, group assessment and to finish an individual interview.

The recruitment process was long but fair.

Definitely could been improved with the timing, would rather have had responses back within the week on regards to the next stage.

The Assessment Day consisted of an individual assessment. A group assessment and individual interview. Multiple stakeholders from across the business participated in the assessment day. Everyone who was running the assessment was actively engaged and went to great lengths to describe the orgganisation, the culture and what the Grad program would offer. You could tell that grads were really valued by the business.

For the graduate program, it was quite simple. I did an aptitude assessment, video assessment and then assessment centre. The questions were quite standard and communication with hiring managers and grad co-ordinators were good.

The hiring process was very professional and well handled however had very long windows of uncertainty between interview and the contract.
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
Group interview and then solo interview. Interview process was pretty standard and quite smooth. Some lack of transparency regarding placements in business units - i.e. some people interviewing for different roles than they were placed in (Applied for marketing got put into a different business unit)

I remember it being overall quite good for my intake but I know for others in the most recent intake there were some issues with hearing back. But I think that was for one particular space/team that had issues and the others were fine.
