Lengthy interview process but very supportive and helpful recruitment team to guide you along the way. Had about seven rounds, including the initial phone screen with the recruiter. Unfortunately didn't receive an offer, but great overall experience!

Question 1
What is your leadership management style and tell me a time you applied that style?
The best interview experience. I knew I wanted to be on their team when I screened for the role. By my second interview I HAD to be. When asked by family member “How’d it go?” all I could say was “That was fun!”
