Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are you looking for in your next opportunity? If you had 10 minutes with the company's CEO, what would you ask them? How do you deal with difficult situations? Give us an example What do you expect from your future colleagues?
I would NOT recommend. Start with a recruiter call, 30min, efficient and friendly. Then interview with the Manager, then a higher up. Then a case study you have 7 days, however, this is not a test or assignment. Been flagged in other reviews and can relate this directly benefits the company...with little incentives to hire after delivery. Don't waste your skills and time.
