Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty long, with significant waiting times between rounds. The interviews themselves were relatively easy, except for the team interview which was quite lengthy. During that discussion, they heavily emphasized that the work could be monotonous and expressed a belief that I might get bored and leave. I found this reasoning to be weak. Hiring or rejecting candidates should be based on concrete evidence, not assumptions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Do you think you would quit if the job became boring or repetitive?
