Interview
Very well organised and professional recruitment process. First was HR phone screening, HR was friendly. Then was invited to a 2-hour assessment centre via Zoom, which was very well organised. The interviewers were friendly, questions were quite in-depth but not too difficult. No offer at the end but the experience was positive.
It was a standard format interview for the industry, everyone was friendly and formal with typical questions that are normally asked for the type of role I was interviewing for.
