Behavioral Presentation Other
The interview process began with an HR motivational interview, followed by an assessment center (AC) which included three interviews conducted back-to-back. The interviews focused heavily on behavioral aspects and motivation, with only a few technical questions. It was a very HR-centric process. Although it's a decent brand, the intern intake has been reduced compared to previous years.
