The interview process was pretty formal and took a while. I had a four-hour panel interview with three of my potential direct managers and someone from HR. They also required a drug test. It wasn't too stressful though, and they let me know their decision pretty quickly.

I applied by sending my CV straight to HR. About a month later, I got a call for an interview. It was a two-person panel, with HR and the Quality Manager. The HR person wanted a general rundown of my CV. The Quality Manager then asked about my previous experience in quality control, like with NCRs, CAPAs, making reports, and doing audits.
