I applied online. I interviewed at Circana (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
Had a virtual interview on Zoom. Right away the interviewer felt distracted, unengaged and rushed through the questions constantly cutting me off. It was a first 15 min screening call. we finished in about 9 min.
Questions were easy, nothing complex, and no different to other interviews for similar positions where I got positive feedback/job offer. Just felt the interviewer, had made his mind up about me perhaps due to some sort of prejudice or discrimination instantly from the start. Surprising as he's meant to be senior championing DEI.
Got a rejection email 1 working day later, no feedback just automated.

Question 1
from what I remember:
1. they asked about my experience/background
2. how my experience directly correlates with this role
2. asked about any projects I've managed
3. things that went wrong in a project I've managed, and how I dealt with it
4. salary expectations (they didn't indicate this on the job description. I asked for the budget, they didn't want to share it. I asked for 60k, which they said was within their budget.
5. notice period
