Presentation Behavioral
The interview process was pretty standard for the industry. There was a presentation that only included senior staff. My potential co-workers and I met over lunch. The whole process took about 5 hours and most interviews had two interviewers. They arranged and prepaid for my travel and hotel, but not for meals or incidental expenses. HR was slow to respond, even when going through a recruiter.
