It was an easy interview, flexible and no particular experience needed. It was quick and straight to the point. They accept spontaneous CV applications and respond. There is a big turnover so it is not too difficult.

Got an interview invite within 3 days after applying. It was just an HR interview, the whole conversation was between HR and me. I think HR people are getting training by inviting people. Nothing else, I would say.
