For the first interview I had to answer pre recorded interview questions online. Process and questions were straightforward, felt they could have added a few more questions so I could accurately showcase my skills and experience. Idid not receive a job offer afterwards.

I had as pleasant an interview process as possible (not sure anyone loves interviews!). It involved a first stage HireVue interview, followed by a second-stage in-person interview with two senior staff. Sadly, I did not get the job although received positive interview feedback.

Colloquio
It was an online interview with a series of questions and you had to video yourself answering them. There was no human contact, which is understandable given the number of applicants they must get but it was still a little disconcerting.
