Withers interview invite! Does anyone have any insights/tips? It's for 1 hour with a member of HR and a Partner

Congrats!!! Shall I ask when did you apply and when did you complete the test? Tysm!

Anything from PMC? According to online sources there is no second stage and straight to AC if successful.

If this is true - may not hear back for a while yet

Congratulations!! Is this for direct tc?

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and give the test and please could you share what strengths and weakness you got on your feedback report?

Thank you very much and best of luck!!

So sorry to hear - did you just get the email?

Harbottle rejection post-interview just received, in case anyone still waiting to hear.

Also, is it the norm not to give feedback after an in-person interview?
