The interview process was really bad and unprofessional. After like months of no communication, they told me in the second interview that I got the job. They told me to quit my job and remove my nails and piercings which cost me over £100. I also went for a factory tour and to sign the contract, which they said was just a formality. But during the tour, they said I needed a third interview, which they never mentioned before. Even though I had already resigned and did everything they asked, the third interview ended with them saying I was 'overqualified' and should look elsewhere. To make it worse, they said they picked someone else, but then the job was posted again on Indeed the next day. It was a total waste of my time, money, and effort, and they were not professional or respectful.

The whole process was super quick, smooth, and fast. They had clearly read my CV beforehand and didn't need me to go over stuff I'd already written. The time from applying to getting an offer and starting the job was less than a week.

Behavioral Technical

Started with an HR call to go over the job specifics. Then had a first interview online that was all situational questions. The second interview was supposed to be technical and in person, but it ended up being the same kind of questions as the first. The interviewers seemed unsure and asked about salary expectations, which HR had already set. It's been a month and I'm still waiting to hear back.
