I applied for a graduate Software Engineer role, and the timeline moved quickly: about four months from applying to receiving the contract. It began with a general aptitude test that relied heavily on maths, pattern-recognition questions, and game-like tasks.

Next came an online graduate interview focused on behavior and motivation, including why I wanted to join BHP and what drew me to mining. The process felt friendly and professional. Because it was a graduate role, technical questions were limited compared with the rest of the process.

There were structured but flexible follow-ups. I started with an initial phone call and was invited to further interviews, with the format varying based on how much time the hiring manager wanted to spend with me. I received an offer. The smooth early stages stood out because the process matched graduate expectations.

Location: Moranbah. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: got offer.
