For recent graduates joining Aurora’s Oxford office, we offer a 21-month programme of experience and development designed to provide:
Over the 21 months, you will take part in two placements in teams within our UK business. The teams included in the programme are part of two departments:
All graduates will rotate through both Advisory and Research plus a third placement in either Software Solutions or Commercial, with the option to partake in a different type of role in Advisory/Research. Placements will be assigned collaboratively, based on both your interests and the needs of the business at the time.
At the end of the last placement, you will be offered a permanent position with one of our teams.
Our screening team will review your CV and cover letter and agree whether to invite you to an interview.
We will speak with you by telephone or video call for just under an hour. We will want to learn more about your motivations and experiences, and we will ask some “case study”- style questions to give you a chance to show your problem-solving and quantitative skills.
If you are successful in our first round interview, we will invite you to visit our Oxford office. During the visit, you will have two face-to-face interviews, each lasting 45 minutes. You will also be asked to complete a written exercise lasting about 40 minutes. You will have a chance to meet more people from our teams and see what it would be like to work at Aurora.
As in the first round, the interviews will include a mixture of questions about how you have shown your abilities in your past experiences, and case study exercises where you can demonstrate how you think through and solve problems.
If you are successful in our final round interview, we will make you an offer of a position at Aurora, to begin work in our Oxford.
