I was first rang up via telephone, having my follow-up Google Hangouts interview a few weeks later. The interviewers were very friendly, however I wasn't sure in advance who I'd be speaking to. You do feel like just a little cog in a large machine, and with little personal connection.
The first interview was just an introductory one, to outline my skills, education and interest in the role and what I am bringing. The second interview was a bit trickier, asking me questions regarding situations "on the job" and how I'd act, for example.

Question 1
Self-introduction and why I am suitable for the role
Pretty simple. Pay close attention to the information pack they give as this outlines most of the work. Other than that just standard behavioural questions. Try and speak to one of the current team members for better idea of day to day work.
