Got an email the day before the interview, so it was pretty short notice. I thought the interview itself went pretty well, and the interviewer and I even found some common ground to chat about. However, I felt a bit weird when they started asking about my personal life, like who I live with and if that person is employed. I'm not really sure how that's related to my ability to do the job. It was also frustrating that Iceland took 4 weeks to get back to me about not getting the job, especially since the interviewer said I'd hear back in 4 days.
