Entretien
Went through the tests - situational judgment, verbal reasoning and numerical (designed specifically for them, not generic SHL or Kenexa which was nice).
Shortly after invited to complete a video interview within 4 days. It lasted around 20-25 minutes, and they gave you around 1 minute to prepare and 2 minutes to answer.
Mainly competency based questions and a couple regarding Waitrose/JLP and its values etc.

Video interview was very difficult. It was a one sided webcam interview. You get given 1 minute to read the question and then 3 minutes to respond. The questions were all very similar so although I had prepared I didn't have enough examples for certain things.
It is hard to talk without having somebody responding on the other side. Adds pressure to speak for the entire 3 minutes without stumbling.

Assessment day:
Role play where I was a manager dealing with a difficult member of staff, Interviews, Presentations.
Was an enjoyable atmosphere. KInd people and good food. Got the impression that they are bit overly obsessed with their culture. Love the fact that it s a partnership. Clearly a good culture in the office as well- lots of people from store applying for grad schemes.
