Behavioral Technical Group

The interview process started with an HR screening, followed by meetings with the Group Managing Director and then the Managing Director. Each interview was a 1-on-1 session lasting about an hour. We discussed my experience with CPGs, how I analyze campaigns strategically, and my roles as both a manager and a team member. The interviewers were really nice and professional, and the whole process felt very quick and efficient.

It was really intense, with a lot of meetings over two days with different people from the company. They all seemed to be on the same page, which was a good sign. After the second day, I felt like it would be a good place to work.
