They asked some basic questions about my past experience, how it would be a good fit for the job, and how I'd handle different scenarios that might come up during the day. It was a pretty straightforward process to see what I could do and what I'd done before.

It was a standard 3 stage interview process. I came into the office once and was given a case study to present on the spot. The staff I met were friendly and asked a lot of questions. Email communication was a bit slow, but overall it was fine.

The interview process started with a 20-minute meeting with HR, followed by an In-Person Assessment Day. This day involved a solo interview lasting about 40 minutes, a group activity with 5 other candidates, and an in-tray group exercise with 10 other candidates. The day also included a presentation about the company, with current graduates available for questions. The environment was good and comfortable.
