The interview lasted for an hour and they were nice enough to send over the questions beforehand. It was a really good and informative chat, definitely one of the best interviews I've had. Even though I didn't get the job, I really liked meeting the team and talking about what they're trying to achieve.

Interview was conducted via MS Teams. Initially, I was asked to confirm a date and time from a list, with a note that Zoom could be used if MS Teams wasn't available. I requested Zoom, but they sent an MS Teams link. I ended up downloading MS Teams. The interview went well, although the questions seemed a bit advanced for an entry-level customer service role, but manageable given my prior experience. Two of the three interviewers seemed disengaged. I had time for questions, and they promised a response by the end of next week, regardless of the outcome. I followed up multiple times via email and phone over a month later, but never received any feedback.

I had an interview with two Assistant Branch Supervisors who were on a panel. The questions they asked were clear and to the point. They were friendly and seemed really into interviewing me. They knew a lot about the job and were able to answer all my questions at the end. I got the offer about a week after the interview.
