The interview was pretty straightforward, mostly asking about past experiences and skills. They wanted to know about times I'd worked with a team and times I'd been in a customer-facing role. This interview was the only one after I finished the initial online application questions.

The interview felt relaxed but still professional. We started with some casual conversation about general topics like the weather, where we're from, and favorite foods, which made it feel very laid back. It then transitioned to a more formal tone, which was helpful.
