I applied online. I interviewed at GAO Tek in Feb 2025
Interview
The process was smooth. I saw the post on LinkedIn and applied. Got an interview call within 24 hours, and the interview took place on Microsoft Teams. After, they offered to onboard me but I haven't accepted yet. The agreement letter stated that the offer stood for 4 days, but the correspondent told me the longer I wait, the less my chances are of being hired. Apart from that, it was an okay experience.
Phone screening, and giving an offer letter immediately, asked about background and work experience, and any other previous internship experience in the field. Did not seem very interested in background information.
The process involved an online application, followed by a virtual interview focusing on communication skills, role clarity, and availability. It was simple and well-organized.The discussion focused on basic role understanding, communication skills, availability, and willingness to learn rather than technical depth. Overall, the process was straightforward and transparent.
