I had an interview with two associates who gave me the lowdown on the role and the team. It was pretty chill, and the associates were really honest, though they were newly qualified. They asked about my past experience and also laid out the working hours and expectations.

It was a no nonsense interview process, like they really wanted to hire someone fast. It started with a phone screen and then an in person interview. I didn't get the job, but they let me know pretty quickly they went with someone else, which was cool.
