Interview
The interview process was quite simple. I first had a virtual interview then an in-person interview at their head office in Glasgow. It was conversational interview, which was more about the company, job role and how I think I can support the growing team.

Interview
Extremely poor, first interview had red flags, i was told the "company ethos" is that people should enjoy their work and not just be in it for pay, which definitely raised concerns. Was invite back for a second interview in person, interviewer should up late, blamed traffic and the school run but showed with a takeaway coffee cup. When asked if any questions I did ask the office opening times because I'd rather be early and avoid the traffic, which the interviewer seemed to take as almost a personal attack, presumably since they were late themselves. Received a rejection the following day and they offered feedback, which I requested the feedback and they just ignored.
