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.

The initial contact and interview setup were warm and quick. The interviewers came prepared with information and asked insightful questions, and they were responsive to my questions. The video technology worked well. Overall, it was a very positive process. I'm currently waiting to hear about the next steps.

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.
