We don't expect everyone to have experience across each of these areas. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil this list. Application process Stage 1: Application and Portfolio. Fill in the application form and respond to each of the questions. We value thoughtful, considered responses - it really helps us understand more about you before we meet you. As part of this, please share a link to your portfolio - if there is a password then please share this as well.
Stage 2: Initial Phone Screen (30min) Stage 3: Portfolio Review and Problem Solving Exercise (2hr) If selected, you will then be invited for an interview at our office in Farringdon, London. The first half will be a case study review where we'll walk through some of your past work. The second half is a problem solving exercise to help us understand your design process. For the problem solving exercise, there's no need to prepare anything.
You will also have the opportunity to meet more of the team when you visit. Stage 3: Final Interview (30min) You will speak with one of our Founders who can answer any questions you might have about the company and discuss more about your motivations for joining a fast growing defence technology startup. Stage 4: Offer. Office vs hybrid working We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture.
As a result, we believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default. For most of us, this usually means at least 3 days a week.
