It was a telephonic interview, then a face-to-face, and finally an HR round. They dug deep into topics with conceptual questions. It's a 12-month contract role, but it felt challenging, and the process was very systematic and organized.

It was an interview with one main interviewer and two others who mostly listened and asked questions near the end. The main interviewer kept cutting me off while I was answering, which made it awkward. I had to try and finish my thoughts after his long interruptions. I'm not sure if he did it on purpose, he seemed really talkative and enthusiastic about the company's work, but it wasn't a great experience.

The interview process involved two main stages. First, there was a phone interview conducted by a recruiter from Guildford. The recruiter was very friendly and helpful, even suggesting some resources to help prepare for the next stage. The second stage was an onsite interview. The atmosphere there was also very pleasant, and I quickly established a good rapport with my potential manager. Our discussion primarily focused on my resume and hypothetical scenarios related to how I would respond to specific situations.
