Application Process & Interviews at Macquarie Technology Group

The interview process consisted of a phone screening and three rounds of interviews. The first round of interviews was a technical interview as well as a general background check. the second and third were akin to company culture interviews (seeing if you would were a good fit for the culture). After getting through the three interview rounds we were then asked to fill out a customer service assessment quiz.

The interview process was very smooth and all the staff that you will be contacted by, either via email or over the phone, were always extremely nice and welcoming.

The interview process started with a phone interview and basic OSI model was needed, then there were 2 in-person interviews and then a video interview with an executive in the department/division you applied for. It was very streamlined and the whole process took less than 4 weeks from application to offer.

1.) Phone call from recruiter for first screening. May have been a second call with 1 or 2 simple technical questions. 2.) Meeting with manager, this was in person and combined personality questions with technical questions. (Ultimately it is a technical interview) Also included an insightful overview of the role and what to expect. 3.) Video meeting with Senior Manager - Personality interview 4.) Video meeting with group executive.

The interview process was very professional. You get interviewed by the leadership hierarchy all the way up to the Executive.

There were 3 rounds of interviews. Technical and Behavioral. Interview are relatively easy.

Standard interview process. There was prescreen round first. Technical round was the hardest. Other 2 interviews were more like chit chat

3 interviews, finishing with a meeting with group executive before you are offered the role. Technical and not technical rounds

I met my manager at a University career fair and he conducted the first (technical) interview. I then met with the Head of Operations for the second round and finally was interviewed by the Group Executive. The second and third interviews were not technical but rather assessed whether I was culturally aligned with the company. All of this was coordinated seamlessly by my dedicated recruitment officer who continually communicated what was expected and how I could prepare for each round.

3 rounds - technical (networks based questions), culture and speaking with the executive.

It was a 3-stage interview process, starting with the Head of Service Assurance, then onto the COO and finally the group executive. Overall, the interviews were quite challenging, but the atmosphere and tone was warm and friendly.

3 stages of interview including technical and behavioral

3 interviews and one personality based assessment

3 interviews out of which first one is technical. Basically asking about what you have learnt at university. There is a personality test as well but the whole process was done in a couple of weeks.

I was asked about the OSI model, and some general questions about cyber security in my technical interview. I was asked about my work history along with my hobbies in the other two rounds.

Basic questions like previous experience, why you applied for the role, do you know the company values, what's important to the company (e.g. NPS surveys etc). There is also a large emphasis on customer service e.g. How have you made a difference to a customer, what is good customer service, have you experienced bad customer service etc Also some technical questions like the OSI model, some basic networking, some basic Linux, do you know TCP/IP etc

In terms of technical questions, it wasn't anything insane. I can't remember them all, but for a general overview: 1.) What are the 7 layers of the OSI model? 2.) What is a firewall? 3.) What is Cross site scripting? 4.) What is SQL injection?

Technical questions regarding networking Personal questions regarding my hobbies, personality. Customer service questions regarding previous customer service experiences

Technical questions around cyber security, networking etc - most of which was covered in Uni

Technical question around IT, cybersecurity, cryptography, dns, Linux etc. Behaviour questions around personality, customer service, learning etc

Some technical, some about customer service. Know you networking and cyber subjects.

Technical questions about networking protocols and routing. General questions about scripting and Linux administration. For the second and third interviews, the questions focused on my interests, passions and values as a person.

Hobbies and interests, reasons for wanting to work here, technical questions like the OSI model.

It was a mix of technical questions relating to the position, additionally, there was strong focus on your values as well as how you approached certain situations. Finally, there was the typical getting to know you better, for example, your hobbies.

Technical questions around networking, cyber security and linux

Technical questions were around basic networking, Linux, cybersecurity. A bit around my home network and PC. Basically gauging how much interest in IT do I have. There were questions around customer service

You could best prepare by studying some fundamental networking concepts such as the OSI model. The third round of the interview involved talking about something I was passionate about - I ensured that the topic I'd bring up was something I knew a decent amount about when quizzed about it.

Ensure you know at least a basic knowledge of networking and Linux and windows console commands.

Best way to prepare is to know the OSI model, what TCP/IP is, how to find an IP address. Also most important is to know the company values (PAS, Collaboration, Results, Making a Difference), and about the company. They like questions regarding the company, especially to do with customer service.

If you make it to the final interview don't stress if you come out feeling like you didn't make a good impression. Some interviewers are more reserved than others.

Prepare for interviews by conducting research regarding what tasks are entailed in the workplace. Prepare questions for interviewers.

Know what is written on your CV. Research the interviewers and the company beforehand

Know your CVs. Prepare some examples of what you have done

Learn the OSI model, make sure you're confident in what you're speaking about. Make sure you have a passion and a goal, career awareness is a massive part of this program

Research the company and the services that they provide. Review networking protocols that you had studied at University.

The recruiter provides information on how to prepare for all interviews.

I would say brush up on your technical knowledge, especially in the area of networking. Other than that, ensure you know the company values and just be yourself.

Know what you studied at university. The interviewer will ask questions from whats written on your CV.
