My interview was in 2024 and was a bit all over the place. The interviewer didn't seem ready, and there were no technical questions. Weirdly, the data analysis task I did beforehand was never brought up. It was a pretty strange interview compared to what's normal.

The interview panel had 3 people from the department that's hiring. They asked me about my skills, my past jobs, and different work scenarios. They also wanted to know if I'd be a good fit for the department's goals and mission.

Don't even bother applying. They have a policy of promoting from within and will string you along, asking for your salary expectations and encouraging you to leave your current role, only to inform you that they've already chosen an internal candidate. Seriously, save yourself the trouble and don't waste your time here.

Technical Presentation
Applied online and the application portal was updated regularly. It took about 3 weeks from when I applied to get a call to schedule the interview. It was a panel interview. The interviewers gave us questions and 10 minutes to prep answers before each panelist asked their questions in turn. They had slides, but the process wasn't super clear and felt a bit disorganized.
