I had 4 online interviews, about 30 minutes each, with an HR person, two managers, and an external consultant. Each person had a different perspective on the role and asked many unconventional questions. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any feedback after the interviews.

Applied for one role, but they said it wasn't available and I switched to another. The interview process included a recruiter screen, then a hiring manager screen, followed by an onsite panel interview, and finally an offer. All interviews were over phone or Zoom and everyone was super nice.

Behavioral Technical

Went through 4+ interviews and was never told if I got the job or was rejected. It would have been OK to be rejected but definitely would have been nice to know. Manager went on and on about how crazy the work environment was & how things changed every week, I wasn't even sure if she enjoyed it. I liked the team I would have been working with but, any advice I can give is to not shine the company in such a negative light during the INTERVIEW, cannot imagine actually working there. And also please be courteous and just let candidates know if you are proceeding or not. Pretty unpleasant experience overall.

  • Can you discuss your past work experiences?
