A panel of two people who were both very friendly and put me at ease. Interview was done over Microsoft Teams and I needed to show a valid ID before starting. Interview lasted about 45minutes and the questions were a mix of prepared 'behaviour' questions, and 'strength' questions which I wasn't expected to prepare for.
