Candidate-reported interview process

The interviewers seemed friendly, but the specifics of the job role were unclear. It felt like they were unsure about the position themselves and weren't very forthcoming with answers to my questions about the role, almost like they were trying to hide something.

The interview process included CV questions that were quite detailed, asking about each and every experience, with some technical questions based on that. They also asked 'Why do you want to work here?' and 'What do you expect the role would involve doing?'.

Overall a simple chat, more focused on attitude. A general test to assess skills and an English test. Then a get-to-know-you chat with the partner. The whole thing took a week for the feedback too.
