The interview process was lengthy. I’d advise to follow up on the application after each step. The recruitment team ware lovely and responsive. Please do company facts research before the interview.
Only did two rounds. First was a panel style and second was with a representative from the senior team. Timeframe between both interviews was only a few days. The complete timeframe between first interview to decision was roughly 2.5-3 weeks.
