The interview process was brief and straightforward. There was ample time and the staff were understanding. I didn't get enough time to prepare, less than 72 hours. The notice was provided by the company. The HR team was very pleasant and replied to all my emails promptly.

Technical Behavioral
It was a 30-45 minute interview with three people on the panel. They asked technical questions about the role, which would be easy if you have experience in it. They also asked behavioral questions, and it's best to be honest because they can gauge your personality. After the interview, they take about a week to get back to you as they need to verify your details.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Were there any tax-related questions?
