Interview
Part technical and part non-technical. Interviewer was friendly and gave me plenty of time to think about questions before I answered them. Any questions I had were answered in detail. Technical part of the interview wasn't too difficult, just needed some basic knowledge of what the company does and some background knowledge relevant to the role.
