So, the interview process involved three main stages. First, there was a standard interview where they asked me to introduce myself and some typical STAR method questions. Next up was a case study that focused on how I'd handle a situation with a dissatisfied client and their missing supplies. Finally, there was another interview that delved into questions about my drive and resilience.

I had to go through a 'panel' interview and instead of speaking to two or three people at once, I had to have a video call with 4 different people over 5 sessions. If you are working full time, especially if it's full time in the office, this is absolutely ludicrous to demand this much time off from people to go to these interviews.
