I interviewed at Nationwide Building Society

Interview

Really great interview experience , lovely people, very corporate but also extremely friendly. A little wait at the start (running behind) but nothing major. Hopefully hear from them soon. Offered tea/coffee at the start which is a good sign to me, they explained everything really well and aren't there to catch you out it doesnt feel like.

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
