Behavioral Technical
I got an email to schedule a video call with someone who does a similar job. The call was about an hour long and really helpful. The whole application process took way too long though. I didn't hear back for 33 days after the interview. I emailed the recruiter twice during that time, but never got a response. The update finally came from a no-reply email, so I couldn't even ask for feedback.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Could you tell me about a project you've worked on?
- How would you rate your negotiation skills?
- Who are the primary stakeholders in your current role?
