The process was professional and responsive, making me feel at ease. It moved reasonably quickly from the initial contact to the offer. I interviewed with at least three different directors and peers. They showed a genuine commitment to diversity, inclusion, career development, and cultural fit.

Technical Presentation Case

Had 3 phone interviews first, with 3 different people. Then got to the 4th and final interview with someone in sales from NY who had a Brand Management background. It was the usual sales vs marketing debate, she wanted 100% sales focus and I'm more into strategic selling. They gave me a case study about a fake company called POPCO where the government said an ingredient they use is a cancer causer. I had to do a presentation and then sell the product to the interviewer. I felt their approach was all wrong.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Given the government's announcement about a cancer-causing ingredient, how would you increase data sales?
  • Please prepare and deliver a PowerPoint presentation.
