Technical Presentation

So first I had to do some online tests, then I got invited to an interview. The interview involved a presentation I had to prepare beforehand, and then an interview with a whole board of people. There were also some written tests. Oh, and a cool tour and lunch too.

It was a very long process, they asked for a PowerPoint presentation for the first interview, but overall the interviews were very professional and interesting. They offer a good salary and good benefits. The last interview was a video conference with 5 people.
