Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was thorough and provided valuable insight into the workings of the organization. It gave me a chance to understand the company's goals, expectations, and working environment. There were different stakeholders in the interview process, which allowed the opportunity to hear different perspectives on the company's values and vision.

Technical Behavioral

went through a series of tests, skype calls, and then a face-to-face interview in Geneva. Even though I was told I performed the highest among the selected candidates, I wasn't chosen. It was evident they didn't want a black female on the team.

Behavioral Technical

2 interviews were conducted (one with HR and one with the hiring manager). The HR interview focused on behavioral and competency-based questions. Some obscure questions were asked like 'give me an example where you disagreed with a client'. It was meant to be an example with a client. The atmosphere was very friendly. Role descriptions were very vague and didn't offer many tangible details on how the role would function.
