First, I had to complete an application form. If they were interested, I received an email inviting me to a video interview. Recently, it seems they've changed it to a group interview, but I can't confirm that. It was pretty straightforward, and I got the offer about two weeks later. They asked about four questions in total.

Behavioral Other
It was a panel interview that had a student from the university, the HR representative, and the head of the department. The interview questions were about the job description, my problem-solving skills, communication skills, and my hard and soft skills. I was very nervous and tried to answer as best as I could, but I forgot to smile and was a bit too rigid with my answers.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was alright, but it required an in-person attendance. I had to take time off work and made a one-hour train journey with two changes. The panel had three members: the direct manager, who was promoted from the role being advertised, her manager who led the panel, and an external staff member. They took turns asking questions, but the two younger staff members would look to the chair for approval before confirming they were satisfied with my answers. It became clear that the panel was very biased, with the chair making all the decisions. When she informed me two days later that I wasn't successful, I learned they had only interviewed three candidates, and the job was offered to an internal employee already in the team. This felt like another 'compliance-driven interview' to facilitate an internal promotion. It was quite disappointing.
