Interview
After a brief phone interview, I was invited for an interview at their HQ where I met both my supervisor and the department head. The questions were direct and related to the opportunity I had applied for. My interviewers had a good rapport and were not malicious in their questions.
They were also very open to discussing the PROs and CONs of the role and company as a whole.
The interview process was very enjoyable and well structured. I was asked to introduce myself and why I was applying for the role. I was asked about my interests in the role.
