We had a phone interview and then a panel discussion with at least 3 people on the call. All the questions asked were situational. It's better to prepare answers on negotiation skills, leadership skills, and team management rather than technical skills.

Confirmed questions2 questions

It was a good process. I applied on inspira. I had to answer some questions about my experience and my understanding of the role. Then I had a written test and then a virtual oral interview.
