Really relaxed interview, everyone was super friendly and supportive. Firstly was asked about my CV and then asked a few standard questions about why I wanted the job. Finally did a quick maths test and a short role-play where I had to talk to a 'customer' about the banking app.

Submitted application and heard back from recruiter via email. Was asked to do an online questionnaire, which ended up being a screening interview (written responses). I applied for 6 similar positions for which I was well qualified and I spent considerable time with my responses. I never got moved to the next step. This makes me think the questionnaire requests are automated.
Interview Questions
- Most questions were job-specific (why do you think you'd excel, etc.) but also a few behavior-based topics.

It was pretty standard. HR reached out and scheduled a phone screen. A few days later, HR contacted me again and scheduled an interview with a panel of managers. The whole process was very well-organized and went very smooth.
Interview Questions
- Talk about a time when you realized the existing method didn't work and how you handled the situation.
