Behavioral

It was a terrible interview process with no professionalism or clear plan, just a waste of time. I was called multiple times for interviews that lasted 2-3 hours without any structure. They seemed unsure about the role they were hiring for. I advise against interviewing with them.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Describe how you would manage conflicts.
