Colloquio
Previously had a really good interview. I wasn't offered the job, but received positive, in-depth feedback and the experience left me thinking highly of the company.
So I applied again. Had a new interview with a different team (similar role) and it was the complete opposite experience. Very obvious from the get-go they'd already decided on another candidate and were just going through the motions with me. Very few questions with no real follow-ups, barely looking at the camera, cutting the interview off at exactly half an hour. Felt like a waste of my time and theirs.
I never received the outcome or feedback from HR but think I can assume by now I'm not being offered the role!

Colloquio
Very friendly and welcoming interviewers, in-person initial interview to share work and introduce yourself, then a design task related to the job position using actual photography and copy from a book, then a virtual follow-up interview meeting some of the wider team (this interview was a lot more question based and formal than the initial interview)

The initial interview was less formal, it was more a case of introductions and sharing work (physical printed works and a digital portfolio). The virtual interview was way more formal and question based.

3 rounds of interviews, first with recruiter, then with the rest of the team, the recruiter interview was simples, the following interviews were more difficult, but still completely fine. The following interviews were with art directors.

Colloquio
Really positive experience - they listened to me and made me feel at ease. I didn't have much experience in the field, but still made me feel valued. I didn't go further with them, but still felt that the experience was positive
