Technical Behavioral
The first stage was an aptitude test. If I passed that, I had general questions about why I chose this specific role and company, plus some technical questions about my experience. Then there was an HR round with personal questions. It took a long time but it was okay.

Technical Behavioral Other
I applied online in November and the very next day, I got an email with a questionnaire that involved writing sales response emails. After that, I had three interviews. The first one was a technical interview with a mock call. The second interview was more laid-back, focusing on my resume. They also set up another HR call to clarify my future role. Everyone was really nice and understanding, even letting me reschedule my original interview dates because I was sick. Overall, it was a super smooth process.

Behavioral
Super unprofessional and chaotic interview. The recruiter moved all communication to text, which is not a best practice. There were many changes to interview schedules, often last minute. The Head of Talent was not apologetic about the disorganization and did not provide transparency into next steps.

- Can you tell me about our competitors?
