Irish Pensions & Finance interview questions

Through a couple of interviews I quickly got the feeling that IPF operates a very high pressure sales culture, with little autonomy for staff. They frequently called out that the company isn't for everyone and that you need to be driven to succeed, but expect this is a cover for a micromanaging culture.

1-1 phone interview with manager. Was lead to believe first interview would be a general conversation. Initial interview was over an hour long and intense. Competencies style questions and also questions in relation to closing a sale, time you failed.
