The interview process included a meeting with the managers who were very unpleasant and mocked the candidate live. It's a shame because it's an interesting company, but the managers really don't make you want to join it.

Behavioral

The interviewers seemed like nice people. They asked a lot of standard questions that didn't feel relevant to the job I applied for. There aren't many perks, and it seems like a typical corporate company with a lot of bureaucracy.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share an instance of a challenging situation and explain your approach to resolving it?
