Probably the worst interview experience I had. Interviewer just went into asking technical questions, some of them being rote memorization questions, like "What does BIOS stand for?". Launched straight into technical questions with no background on the company or role. No feedback given at all after responses. Sounded completely disinterested, like the interviewer was just reading questions from a document. Probably a red flag when the second question they ask is "How would you deal with a user who got angry with you?".
First round, phone call , HR talk about the company
Second round, meet the tech team and ask some tech questions.
Finally, you can ask them three questions.
That all
Technical interview of about 50mins and was done via a Teams video call. Two interviewers who were managers within the IT support team. Both very pleasant and took turns to ask questions, giving ample time for the interviewee to have a little think and provide their answer. Outcome of interview was notified within next 5 working days.
