Interview
I remember the interview process going very smooth and organized. I was on a panel interview and the process was very straight forward. I was given a schedule and what to expect, which I absolutely appreciated. The team that I got to interview with was awesome. Lastly, I really appreciated that one of the people interviewing me provided me with constructive feedback from my presentation which actually helped me improve my next presentation and landed me a job. Although I didn't get the job with Bristol I very much enjoyed the chance to interview for a position with this company.
