Behavioral Presentation

I was first contacted by a recruiter in Hong Kong and then quickly had an initial interview with a senior person. After that, I met with someone at my peer level. Then I had to do a long writing test, which had three prompts and ended up being about five pages. Once that was done, I had a really good conversation with an EVP and then they offered me the job. All in all, it was a great experience.

The initial phone interview went really well, the HR person was super nice. The process itself was pretty smooth, but it did take a while to get the feedback needed for a decision. It might be good to keep track of how long it takes from the first interview to getting a confirmation either way.

The whole thing was super fast, like only 2 weeks from start to finish and they gave me an offer. It was pretty easy overall, with just three interviews. Everyone I met was really nice and made me feel comfortable right away.
