I applied online. I interviewed at University of Exeter (Exeter, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Good process, friendly and made to feel comfortable before starting interview. Interview had technical and situation questions. Process too about an hour, not too formal and got a good feeling about team overall

I applied in-person. I interviewed at University of Exeter (Exeter, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
Demanding, wanted to have more skills than being present in CV, required to know everything about the post doc project..
The questions were difficult and did not reflect the job description. It seemed to me that they had already chosen the person who would hire for the job, and they just had an interview with me to cover up the number of interviews required to finish the procedure. Terrible and very disappointing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you know Python?
Can you build a website?
The job description never mentioned these skills. There was no mention that coding language is required for the post.
