The process was quick and enjoyable. They walked me through the job description and explained a typical day-to-day task. The interviewers were very nice and supportive. They said the procedure would take up to 2 weeks.

Operations Executive
The hiring process started off really quickly and they were super responsive. I did a take-home test and heard back the next day, inviting me for an in-person interview the day after that. I went to their London office for the interview, and the whole thing went well. I had a good time chatting with the hiring managers. The interview lasted about 1.5 hours.

Operations Executive
I applied online for this Operations Executive position and got a call the very next day. The recruiter asked me some general questions like what I'm currently doing. Then, I was asked to complete some typing tests and send the results via email. After that, I received an email inviting me for an in-person interview at their office. This interview consisted of three parts: first, a language test and a typing speed test. Then, the HR person interviewed me with some general questions. Finally, the team manager conducted the last part of the interview, also asking generic questions.
- What would be your approach if faced with numerous tasks that all have the same deadline?
