Behavioral Presentation
This was probably one of the worst interviews I've had in a while. I was expecting a one-on-one, but it turned out to be a panel interview. One of the three interviewers was nice, but the person who would have been my manager seemed completely uninterested.

Behavioral
The interviewers seemed really interested in my background and career journey. The interview felt pretty short, and they didn't ask as many questions as I expected. It was a bit strange because one question they asked me was something they had already explicitly asked for in the application, separate from the personal statement. So, I wasn't sure if the panel had actually read the applications thoroughly, apart from the initial shortlisting. Still, overall, it was a good experience.
