I interviewed at Southwark Council (London, England)
Interview
The interview was conducted by a board of 3 people and it was pretty formal and serious in nature. Although, they were very friendly and made the process smooth, the interviewers even shared a lot about their planning experience so it felt educational and fulfilling in a sense!
Overall, a pleasant experience. One of the senior managers seemed particularly distracted/disinterested and bolted out of the room as soon as we were finished. I thought this was particularly rude
