Behavioral Technical Other
It was a mixed bag, not ideal overall because it was all over the place. They didn't give me a job description for like 80% of the interviews even though I asked for it a bunch. Some people I met were awesome and I felt like I could learn a lot, which was good. But some others were kind of a downer and seemed like they were in a blame-heavy culture.
Confirmed questions1 question
- There were questions ranging from company strategy all the way down to basic questions about simple operational tasks.
