It began with a call from HR. After that, I had an informal chat with the head of R&D. Then, I was invited for a final in-person interview. The whole thing felt pretty standard, and they were quick to schedule everything. It took about two weeks for them to make a final decision. I had to chase them up because nobody told me what the outcome was.

It was a friendly interview with general competency questions. The role turned out to be for a graduate scheme starting in September, which wasn't clear from the advert. They asked about four or five questions, starting with introducing myself.

Behavioral Technical

It was a long afternoon of interviews with managers and HR. They make decisions pretty quickly, but it's not totally clear what they look for when they decide to invite someone or not. HR doesn't give much feedback at all, which is a bummer.
