It's a really great company, and they were super thorough throughout the whole interview. The questions they asked felt relevant and weren't overly difficult. I feel like this is a solid place to begin a career and develop professionally.

Behavioral Technical

I got there a bit early and reception showed me to a conference room. She said she'd let them know I was waiting. After about 20 minutes, I started emailing the person I was supposed to meet to make sure they knew I was there. They came down eventually and asked me some initial questions. Then, I interviewed with the person I would report to, who was running late. I shared some examples from my past work. We finished up early, and they left in a hurry as I was saying goodbye. They said they'd follow up, but I never heard back.

They interview external candidates even though they have someone internal or known already. First, an HR interview, then a hiring manager interview. The HR manager didn't know much about the role and gave short answers. The hiring financial Controller belittles work experience and ability, showing the type of behavior you'll face.
