Behavioral Presentation
The application process felt pretty structured and kept me interested. It kicked off with a preliminary phone chat with Corporate Recruitment to talk about the role and my background. Then, I had a casual coffee meetup at the office, which was great for getting a feel for the company vibe. Right after that, on the same day, I went into a more formal interview to dive deeper into my experience and what drives me. The last part was a presentation I put together for both the manager and the director. Not long after, I got the offer. All in all, the process was straightforward, felt really personal, and gave me a solid understanding of the team and what's expected.

It was an easy seamless process, done by the CEO because it was for an assistant to the CEO internship. They pushed me a bit at the end to test my reactions, but didn't challenge me technically at all, which was disappointing.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process started with a screening phone call. After that, there was a 30-minute Zoom interview with a manager. This was followed by a 10-minute "about me" presentation and then a one-hour interview with a manager and their superior. The first interview went well and the interviewer was easy to talk to and shared good insights. The second interview was really uncomfortable, like I was defending myself instead of interviewing. When I asked about their work-from-home policy, the interviewer made a passive-aggressive comment about how "real recruiters" are social and prefer to be in the office. After all that, my recruiter didn't even have the professionalism to send an email about not getting the job, just a callous text message. It was insulting. You'd expect a recruiting company to provide a professional experience, but they didn't. Their carelessness and lack of professionalism were evident, and the text rejection made it clear you'd just be a number there.
