I had a roundtable interview with three interviewers who rotated asking questions. They were nice and friendly, but seemed a bit distracted. They each introduced themselves and then took turns asking me questions. After they were done, I got to ask them some questions.

Once I got to the interview stage, it was a straightforward panel interview followed by a test. The questions seemed right for the role. I found that preparing some SMART examples from my past work experience was helpful for my prep. The specific topics or examples from my past weren't covered, but it helped focus how I responded.

Behavioral

I got to pick my interview date within a two-week window. Two friendly staff members interviewed me, asking questions related to specific behaviors. I didn't get the job, and I felt the scoring was a bit unfair. Getting feedback is a bit of a hassle; they give you scores, and then you have to wait to see the actual feedback they provided.

  • Can you share an example of when you demonstrated decision making skills?
