Interview
Paper based exercise followed by interview with two interviewers. Interviewers were late and didn’t even apologise. Interview lasted around ten minutes, they were reading from a sheet of paper, no eye contact, no conversation. Hadn’t read my application (despite having it in front of them) as had no idea what I had currently been doing and asked questions that were at beginning of application and seemed pleasantly surprised at the answers.
