I had a short interview with the department head. We had to wait about 30 minutes because it was the end of the month and they were really busy. They were super apologetic about the wait though, which was nice. HR showed me around and we chatted – I think she was assessing my personality. Then I met with the department head who was more formal and direct. They asked about my experience, Excel skills, JDA skills, and accounting background. Very straightforward.
