It was an internal interview process and pretty quick. They always have a lot of openings, so even though no specific roles were confirmed for my promotion, there were plenty of options. Typically, things pick up around August or a couple of weeks after New Year's. The interview was standard with typical questions, focusing on creative problem-solving and managing clients.

First you have a phone interview with the HR. they are very professional and sound nice so you don't feel like you're being interrogated. Then you have an interview with the team leader. Now this is where things get interesting because it really depends on who is interviewing you. In general, the team leaders are very dynamic and can be quite fun. I only had two interviews.
