Question 1
Entretien rh tres cool
Test technique sur TestDome
Entretien avec manager trés carré (il le croit en soit ca veux dire ) , je lui ai demandé les perspectives de poste , il repondait pour dire implicitement que y a pas perspectiives d'évolution , tu reste developpeur parcequ on voulait te recruter comme dev et pas + , et le pire il disait qu il voulait pas "des personnes qui savent pas ce qu ils veulent" .. un manager tres ironique qui se croit owner de la société et qui se comporte comme un roi .. du n importe quoi
