I applied online. I interviewed at Intelligent Growth Solutions (Dunfermline, Scotland) in Feb 2022
Interview
People seemed friendly enough but company seems disorganised and lacked real clarification on the job role. Left waiting for several minutes.
Salary seemed low for what they are asking for, well below industry standard. 10k less.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intelligent Growth Solutions (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Nov 2020
Interview
The interviews were via video link. I felt the initial interview went well, and progressed through to the final interview with senior management. Unfortunately they seemed quite unprepared, and based on the questions asked, didn't appear to have read my CV.
They asked a lot of management related questions which didn't line up with what I had expected from the job description. At one point I realised that one of the two interviewers was taking a phone call, and not really paying any attention! This added to my feeling that they weren't really very invested in the interview. I then didn't hear anything for quite some time, despite asking their HR department for feedback. It was only when an external recruiter approached me about the job that it was clear that I hadn't been offered it!
