Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was quite long, but it was pretty straightforward. Everyone I talked to was nice and they asked me about my past experiences and what I could bring to MAL. The questions weren't particularly difficult, but you should be ready to talk about your experience and how it relates to the job.

I got referred by an employee and the HR reached out. Then I had a conversation with the account directors. They were nice and made me feel comfortable. I never heard back from HR after that, even after I sent an email asking for an update.

Behavioral Technical

A HR lady met me and showed me to a room. I waited a bit until the HR Director arrived. She asked me some standard questions from her laptop and typed my answers. Then she left, and two account handlers came in. They interviewed me using questions from my CV. Afterwards, they left, and I wasn't sure if the interview was over. I decided to leave after about 5-10 minutes, and then one of the account handlers ran after me saying they'd walk me out.
