Technical Behavioral

They started by giving an overview of the company, its purpose, and its goals. They emphasized a casual dress code and asked candidates to wear very casual attire. The practical part involved climbing a fake roof and attempting to drill holes. The candidate's attempt was unsuccessful due to wearing dressy shoes, which caused slipping and felt unsafe. Following this, there were individual private interviews.

I sat in a room with two managers and they asked me a bunch of questions after we watched a film. There were 15 people interviewed at the same time as me, and only 3 of us were hired. 2 of us lasted a year.
