It was a pretty standard interview process, and the people I met were really nice. They had a set list of questions they asked, and they were looking for STAR method answers based on specific scenarios. I didn't get any feedback after the second part, and it took a while to hear back even after I followed up a few times via email.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
The process kicked off great with the TA specialist being super clear and giving good insights. First was the TA call, then a call with the Hiring Manager and TA, followed by a presentation to the HM and Head of Dept. Everyone was professional and easy to chat with. After waiting two weeks, I got a last-minute 15-min call the same day with a senior person from a different department. I didn't get much info beforehand, but I was keen on a decision, so I took it. The call felt really unorganized. They asked what I understood about the role, then seemed to make up questions like 'Oh, I don't know, tell me about a time when...' It felt like they were improvising. I felt dismissed. They said I'd get feedback in 2 days but it took 4. The feedback was just 'He felt you could have given more,' which wasn't helpful, and I didn't see them taking notes.

I applied in November when the job was posted and heard back within hours. The recruiter didn't show up on the scheduled date, and I had to follow up for two weeks to get a response. It took another week to rebook. The recruiter was late on the rebooked date and rushed the 15-minute interview (instead of 30). I was told they were in the late stages with others and could expedite if they liked my profile. My CV honestly stated I didn't have 1:1 line management experience, but during the call, I was repeatedly asked if I did. They were supposed to follow up the next day, but I never heard back.
