Took a few weeks to the interview process. It was a telephone interview which was basically competency and motivation based. A lady asked me around 7questions in total which lasted 30mins long. Most of the questions are not difficult to answer but you need to prepare for as many examples as possible!! Those competency questions are quite similar and are mostly designed to assess your interpersonal skills, such like how you would behave when others in your team disagreed with you.
