Behavioral
This was a positive interview experience. The panel was friendly. It was conducted on Zoom, which felt a bit less personal, but overall it was a good experience even though I didn't get the job. I would apply and interview there again because of the good experience.

We had an online interview with three people on the panel, and they made it feel really friendly and welcoming. The conversation just flowed, and it felt like a normal chat. Each person on the panel asked two questions. It was pretty relaxed and engaging overall, like a regular conversation.

Behavioral Presentation Other
It was a panel interview with three people, about 30 minutes long. Each person asked 2-3 questions. Started with a question about my motivation for the role, then moved to hypothetical "how would you approach" and "give an example when" type questions, and finished with a values-based question. It was online. They got back to me pretty fast, by the end of the week.

Behavioral
I interviewed with a panel of 3 people. Since this is a new graduate position, there are no exact duties defined for this role yet. The questions were mostly behavioural, but not typical ones. They were more focused on future outlook and your work style. A few weeks after the interview, I got a phone call from one of the interviewers who gave me some feedback. Overall, it was a good experience.
