Challenging sets of questions but interviewers also willing to help. Really transparent and quick turnaround of decision

Interview
Screening interview followed by 3 hour interview via Microsoft Teams. The interviewers were friendly and polite and each asked questions on different areas. Overall it was a good experience and the questions asked were relatively straightforward if you know your field.

Interview
A very nice interview process, with about a month from my initial application to offer. Everyone was very friendly and kept regularly in contact to keep me updated.
Began with a 15 minute phone screen (nothing to worry about, they are just checking you are eligible to work/able to relocate if needed etc).
Then had the interview. It was a panel interview lasting 2.5 hours. The first step was a 30 minute presentation, followed by a 45 minute technical interview (this was quite challenging!) and finally 45 minute values interview.
