They asked me about my background and then gave me a scenario to answer. There were no right or wrong answers, and they tried to make me feel comfortable. It was a good interview.

Behavioral Technical
Applied online with my CV and Cover Letter. If shortlisted, the next step was online tests – they called them psychometric, but I’d say they were more like timed proof-reading exercises, checking grammar, cross-referencing contract mistakes, and a Watson Glaser style verbal reasoning test. After that, if shortlisted again, there was a virtual interview (this was in 2021). It was mostly competency-based questions, some strength-based ones, and a deep dive into my CV/Cover Letter experiences, asking for specific examples. It was quite informal and friendly, almost like a chat!
