I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Swedbank (Riga) in Feb 2024
Interview
Applied online, internal recruiter reached out after a week, some days later had discussion with the recruiter. Interview with hiring manager around 2,5 weeks later. Overall from interview perspective no issues - they were very targeted and helped to understand for both parties if the position is right.
