I had a 30-minute phone screening, then I went to Zurich for a face-to-face interview on my day off because Basel was a public holiday. The receptionist was very rude. In the interview, it was the hiring manager and someone online from the UK. They asked me standard questions. When I stated my salary expectation, which I know is appropriate because I work in HR in Switzerland, they cut the meeting short. They asked if I had questions and dismissed me after 45 minutes. A few days later, I got an automated rejection. I emailed the recruiter and she apologized and said an HR business partner would give me feedback. I'm still waiting for that feedback years later.

The interview experience was fun and friendly, with a few standard soft skills questions. However, the HR side of things was a bit disorganized, as I wasn't sure exactly which of the three mentioned positions I was interviewing for.
