Interview
The interview process consisted on two individual interviews with two recruiters. The interview was more of a personality test, with each interview lasting about 30 minutes or so. The recruiters were laid back and typed everything that you said into their computers.
After the interviews, I did not hear anything back from the recruiters. They did not tell me why they did not give an offer or anything. I emailed the recruiter and did not get any response back at all.
