Candidate-reported interview process

Arrive on time and then wait for everyone else, then we come with a store tour, after that a brief introduction by the interviewer, then goes into Group Interview process, they ask questions one by one, everyone get the same question but in different orders.

Straightforward, got enough info before and could prepare. Good communication. They answered my questions. I came in, met the interviewers, they asked me questions and I answered. Then I left.

It was done in a group interview style, with around 4 other candidates, and they asked questions to all of us. At the end, we also got a chance to ask them questions.
