After applying, I had to schedule a time for the interview. It was a single round with two interviewers for the position. The atmosphere was a bit intense; one interviewer was nice, but the other one wasn't.

The process was really clear and straightforward. After I applied, I got emails telling me when and where the interview was, and who would be there. A few days later, I had a phone call with the interviewer, and then got an email with a conditional offer, which I accepted.

So, the interview had a couple of parts. First, a phone chat, then a task to complete. After that, I met with three people who asked me some questions. The whole thing took about 40-45 minutes. They really tested my knowledge and how I'd handle different situations.

Presentation Behavioral

I applied online and heard back a week after applications closed. I interviewed in November 2023. The interview itself was pretty simple, but I didn't hear back when they said I would. A week late, I got an automated email saying I hadn't been invited for an interview, even though I'd already had one. I thought it was a bit rude not to get in touch personally or with feedback, especially since they mentioned only interviewing three people. I didn't get a response within the stated timeframe and received a late, automated rejection email.

  • Can you tell me about a successful campaign you've recently managed?
